EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Police received a report Wednesday of alleged sexual abuse through the Diocese of Evansville's Victim's Assistance Unit.

The incident is being investigated as child molesting of a child under 14 and reportedly occurred more than 45 years ago.

The EPD probable cause affidavit said the reported incident happened in the 1700 block of Lodge Avenue, the same block where both Holy Spirit Catholic Church and Holy Spirit School are located. The school is preschool through eighth grade.

Evansville Diocese spokesman Tim Lilley said the Diocese had no comment on the alleged incident or report.

Police said the alleged victim no longer lives in the area and the person they are accusing of the molestation died in the 1980s. There is no active criminal investigation, Evansville Police Sgt. Jason Cullum said.

In February, the Evansville Diocese released a list of "credible" allegations of abuse by clergy in the Diocese of Evansville. The Diocese said they compiled the names previously published in The Message, a newspaper of the Diocese. They also contacted a private investigator to review records dating to its founding in 1944 beginning in early October and ending in mid-December.

The list was based on the review of records and the recommendations of current and previous Diocesan Review Board members, the Diocese said in February.

"A credible claim is one for which, following a review of information, the Review Board determined as believable and plausible, and the Bishop accepted as credible; or the priest admitted to or acknowledged," according to the February release.

The Diocese said every allegation of child abuse must be reported to Child Protective Services, and local law enforcement may also be contacted. If there's an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor by any diocesan personnel, the allegations can be reported to the Victim Assistance Coordinator for the diocese at 866-200-3004 or 812-490-9565.

"These diocesan priests have allegations determined to be credible of at least one act of sexual abuse of a minor or person who habitually has only the imperfect use of reason, which the U.S. Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People considers equivalent to a minor:"
