A Catholic priest who was accused of sexual abuse in a case that was settled last month by the Boston Archdiocese has returned to active ministry.
Church leaders said Friday that restrictions on the Rev. Eugene Sullivan's "exercise of public ministry" were lifted after an archdiocesan review board found the allegation against him was unsubstantiated.
Sullivan and two other priests were accused in 2005 of sexually abusing a boy in the 1970s. The church settled the case last month for $475,000 without any admission of guilt.
Sullivan's attorney says his client denies the allegation against him and was prepared to face his accuser in court.
