PITTSBURGH — The reassignment has been stopped for a priest in the wake of allegations he fondled a teen girl.

Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh officials say 69-year-old Rev. Alvin Adams will not be transferred to a convent as planned because of the objections of parents whose children are in a day care center there.

Adams had been on leave as a parish priest and Bishop Canevin Catholic High School chaplain since March while the diocese investigated allegations he fondled a 16-year-old girl in the 1970s. Two other alleged victims came forward later.
