Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The Knox County Sheriff’s Office has ended its investigation into a Farragut priest.

Father Joseph Reed was placed on leave in December after being accused of violating boundaries within the Knoxville Diocese’s Safe Environment Policy.

The diocese sent out a letter to the congregation when Reed was first placed on leave, indicating they reported the complaint to the state which then prompted an investigation by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Department of Child Services.

KCSO officials report their investigation found the allegations unsubstantiated.
