EL PASO, Texas - The trial for Catholic Priest Philip Taban, who is accused of second degree sexual assault, continued Tuesday at the 409th District Court.

Taban, a national of the African nation of Uganda, was a visiting priest at Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini Church in East El Paso when he was accused of forcing himself on a teenage parishioner.

The 18-year-old accuser took the stand Tuesday. She testified that Taban forced her to have oral sex with him in September of 2007.

After the testimony both sides rested their cases. Closing arguments are scheduled for Wednesday.
