| Rev. Stephen Valenta is facing a sex assault indictment in Texas. |
A Milam County grand jury indicted Rev. Stephen Valenta on charges of sexual assault and prohibited sexual conduct, Texas-based News Channel 25 is reporting.
The indictment stems from an incident last May when Father Valenta came to Rockdale, Texas, as a fill-in priest while a local priest was out of state on training, according to the report.
Father Valenta's alleged victim is an adult female relative, News 25 reported.
