NFL long snapper Jake McQuaide was escorted out of a church in Ohio by police over the weekend after he confronted a member of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati during Mass over allegations that a priest used a parish-owned computer to access pornography.

The incident unfolded at Our Lady of the Visitation in Green Township on Saturday when Archdiocese of Cincinnati Chancellor Jason Williams addressed parishioners during Mass regarding the recent accusations against the Rev. Martin Bachman, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

Williams read a letter from Archbishop Robert Casey in which he said all concerns “have been investigated, and no wrongdoing either criminally or ecclesiastically has been substantiated” against Buchman or the parish’s pastor, Don Siciliano.

“Furthermore, recent rumors, for which no corroborating facts have been uncovered, are unsubstantiated,” the letter continued. “Rumors which quickly spiral out of control have the potential to severely harm the good reputation which each of us should enjoy. Consequently, like gossip, the spreading of rumors is sinful, and we should all work to overcome this tendency of our fallen human nature.”

Casey noted that the Green Township Police Department confirmed to the archdiocese that there was “no evidence or investigation of criminal wrongdoing by Fr. Bachman.” The letter also noted there are no ongoing “ecclesiastical investigations.”
