SYDNEY, N.S. - Police have dropped their investigation into a complaint against a priest who headed up a rehabilitation centre for addicts in Cape Breton.
The Cape Breton Regional Police say they have no basis to pursue any criminal charges involving the former employee of Talbot House in Sydney.
Father Paul Abbass confirmed in an email that he was the person being investigated, and that police have ended the probe.
Abbass took a leave of absence from his position as executive director of the facility after an unspecified allegation surfaced in February.
The centre has since closed.
Abbass said he's not ready to speak publicly about the allegation.
