The Diocese of Venice “received notification from a law firm of an allegation of sexual misconduct by Rev. Jerome Kaywell with someone who was a minor at the time.”
Father Jerry Kaywell, a Florida priest and Grammy-winning recording artist, has been placed on leave due to alleged sexual misconduct with a minor a decade ago.
The incident transpired earlier this month in the seventh-grader s classroom at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School in Port Charlotte, as students read aloud from the classic novel.
