David Tokarz is charged with sexual misconduct and harassing communications. Tokarz was pastor at Our Savior Catholic Church on Cody Road in west Mobile.
The alleged victim says the 74-year-old clergyman hugged her on March 2 and when he let her go, he rubbed and patted her breasts. In another incident, the woman alleges he kissed her without her consent during a meeting in the rectory, where priests live.
Attorney Jeff Deen, who represents Tokarz, maintains his client is innocent.
“Father Tokarz has been a priest for many years. He is well thought of in our community and we are looking to the allegations,” Deen said.
