Priest Placed on Administrative Leave

Fr. Robert Bester, Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, informed the Archdiocese today, that he had been made aware by local media that an adult male has made an accusation against him of a recent incident of inappropriate behavior. Fr. Bester indicated that he had made a report to the police regarding this accuser.

In consultation with Fr. Bester, the Archdiocese has placed Fr. Bester on administrative leave pending investigation conducted under the direction of the Anchorage Archdiocesan Review Board. The Archdiocese, as of this time, has not received any contact from the accuser.

There will be no further comments until the Archdiocesan Review Board has completed their investigation.
