"Inappropriate behavior"

A priest who presided over an inaugural Mass for President Biden in January is under investigation for inappropriate behavior.

Santa Clara University said in a statement on Monday that an independent investigation is being conducted into the school's president, Father Kevin O’Brien.

[...]

O’Brien presided over a Mass for Biden, Vice President Harris, their extended families and congressional leaders at Biden’s inauguration. The Mass was held at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C.

The university's statement said O’Brien has been a friend of Biden’s for nearly 15 years, and has previously held ceremonies at Biden’s previous inaugurations as vice president.

[...]

John Sobrato, chairman of Santa Clara University’s Board of Trustees, said the school was informed by the Provincial of the USA West Province that it received accounts that O’Brien “exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries.”

  
"Primarily conversations." So vague.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
