	Ontario: Priest Accused of Abuse out on Bail By David Olson The Press-Enterprise November 8, 2010 http://blogs.pe.com/news/digest/2010/11/ontario-priest-accused-of-abus.html An Ontario priest accused of felony sex crimes against a 12-year-old boy has been bailed out by an organization of parishioners that believes in his innocence. The Rev. Alejandro Jose Castillo, 57, was arrested Oct. 25 and charged with seven counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14 and one count of forcible lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14. Hundreds of people affiliated with the Coalition to Exonerate Fr. Alex raised the $24,000 in bail money, said Ted Campos, director of the organization. As part of the conditions of his release, Castillo can have no contact with minors. Castillo is pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Ontario but was removed from his duties in June, after the Diocese of San Bernardino became aware of the allegations against him.
