Priest Arrested on Child Abuse Charges | Wichita News
Description
A Kansas priest, Father Ryan McCandless, has been arrested on three felony charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, allegedly involving a six-year-old between July and September last year. Arrested at his Wichita home by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, McCandless was then serving three parishes in Republic County and previously worked in multiple communities across the state. The Diocese of Salina confirmed they reported the allegations to authorities and immediately removed him from all ministry duties. He is currently in custody and expected to be transferred to Republic County Jail. The diocese urges anyone with information to contact KBI or their Victim Assistance Coordinator, emphasizing he will remain removed from ministry until fully cleared by legal and church authorities.
