COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)- More details are being released about why a priest in Colorado Springs was arrested.

He has been arrested on charges of sexual assault on a minor by a person in a position of trust and contributing to the delinquency of a minor for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.
