A Jamestown priest has been arrested on suspicion of committing sexual exploitation by therapist.

A statement from the Fargo Diocese says Father Neil Pfeifer was placed into custody in Stutsman County on Wednesday. Father Pfiefer was re-moved from active ministry on January 14th.

Bishop John Folda says Father Pfeifer remains out of ministry as pastor of the Basilica of St. James in Jamestown, St. Margaret Mary in Buchanan, and St. Mathias in Windsor, pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.

Pfeifer served as an Associate Pastor at St. Michael’s Church in Grand Forks from 2011 to 2014.
