GREEN TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WKRC) - Disturbing allegations against a local priest triggers an investigation by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. A parishioner at Our Lady of the Visitation in Green Township told Local 12 that in late March, a whistleblower sent him and his wife disturbing images the whistleblower found.

The video was viewed millions of times before it was taken down. “I was trying to get to my office, and I had my weapon. I always have my weapon,” said Ruffin.
