Priest Charged with Misdemeanor Sex Assault The Republican-American August 12, 2011 http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2011/08/12/ap-state-ct/ct_priest_sex_abuse.txt A Roman Catholic priest who worked at a Simsbury church has been charged with misdemeanor sexual assault and is set to appear in state court. The Rev. Edward Warnakulasuriya was arrested Thursday on three counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and is to appear in Enfield Superior Court on Friday. Details of the charges weren't released. Warnakulasuriya was the administrator at St. Bernard's Catholic Church. Parishioners say they haven't seen him for several weeks. The 53-year-old Warnakulasuriya is from Sri Lanka. A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Hartford says he's been placed on administrative leave because of the allegations. Warnakulasuriya couldn't be reached for comment Friday.
