A priest in Holmdel has been pulled from ministry after he was accused of sexually abusing a minor.

Rev. Monsignor Gregory Vaughn is a pastor at Saint Catherine Parish.

Since the early 1970s, Vaughn also served in parishes in Keansburg, Cinnaminson, Middletown and Hamilton.

The Diocese of Trenton confirmed the news but is not releasing any other information to protect the alleged victim's privacy.
