GLENDALE, Ohio — A Tri-State priest accused of possibly accessing "concerning websites" on his computer has been exonerated.

We previously reported that the Archdiocese of Cincinnati placed Fr. Ed Burns Jr. on administrative leave after a parish employee told leadership that a computer in his possession may have accessed criminal or pornographic websites.

Burns is the pastor of the St. Carlo Acutis Parish, which includes Gabriel Church and school in Glendale, St. Michael Church and School in Sharonville, and St. John Church in West Chester.

Archdiocese officials said after reviewing the list of websites provided by the employee, they did not turn on the computer and "promptly" gave it to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, which conducted a full forensic review of the computer.
