1968 for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. He taught in Catholic high
schools in Dayton, Cincinnati and Hamilton while assisting in local
parishes. He was also a St. Gregory Minor Seminary faculty member, and

In a lawsuit settled in 1994, a man alleged that Harsham sexually abused him as a high school student during 1975-1977. The man was a high school student attending a pre-seminary program on weekends at St. Gregory's Minor Seminary, where Harsham was a faculty member. The man said Harsham plied him with alcohol, marijuana and pornography. In a suit filed in December 1993, another man claimed Harsham sexually assaulted him when the man was a Badin High School student; Harsham taught at Badin 1977-1981. Further, former students of Carroll High School in Dayton, where Harsham taught 1968-1973, stated in the 1990s that the priest showed them pornography and seduced or attempted to seduce them.
