Actually all priests who are even accused of sexual abuse of children are removed from public ministry pending the outcome of the investigation.

So they cannot perform the Sacrifice of the Mass, confession, etc.?

If they have been accused, they AUTOMATICALLY are suspended from public ministry (without any appeal process as far as I know) and cannot perform those duties - that has been the rule in the US since at least 2002 or 2003. They are suspended until the investigation is over.
