On three dates between September 5, 2018 and September 20, 2018, Kreiser allegedly engaged in touching a child inappropriately on her body while on school ground in Bronxville. The 10-year-old victim was fully clothed.
At the time of the alleged assault, Kreiser was employed as a Roman Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of New York.
