Queens Priest Under Investigation For Kiddie Porn

A Queens priest is under federal investigation for viewing child pornography on the Internet. Monsignor Michael Dempsey, 77, of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Forest Hills was placed on administrative leave, barred from publicly acting as a priest, and asked to leave his on-site residence, where he has lived since 1961, according to the Post. Dempsey served as the executive director of pastoral communications from 1978 until his retired last year. This is the second time in recent years that Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church has been hit with a sex scandal; in 2003, a priest was accused of fondling an altar boy in the priest's residence in the 1980's.
