“The school continues to be a safe environment for the Catholic education of our students,” the release said. “Our focus on maintaining a safe environment will not be compromised.”
The archdiocese reported the incident in January to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
Greg Flannagan, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, said that the office is not investigating Cutcher. Three police departments, including the Huber Heights Police Division, also told the Dayton Daily News in January they were not involved in any investigation into Cutcher.
“At this time, we have no information that would support the opening of a criminal investigation,” Flannagan said.
Cutcher was formerly pastor of Pastoral Region XII, including St. Peter, Our Lady of the Rosary, Holy Cross and St. Adalbert parishes.
A new pastor will be named in July, according to the press release. Until that time, the Rev. John Tonkin, Dean of the Dayton North Deanery, will continue as parochial administrator of Pastoral Region XII.
St Peter school also is mourning the death of its former principal, Ron Albino, who died in January.
