Priest resigns in face of sexual allegations

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A Miami priest has stepped down from his role after being accused of sexual abuse for the fourth time.

Reverend Rolando Garcia resigned on Friday as pastor of Miami's Saint Agatha Catholic church after a new accuser claimed Garcia sexually abused him in the mid-90s.

This is the fourth alleged victim to claim sexual abuse against Garcia.

The decision for Garcia to resign has left many divided at the church and its school.

He released this statement saying: "I want to do what is best for the parishioners, school, parents and students of Saint Agatha."
