SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The priest accused of sexually molesting a 14-year-old girl over two years was released from Sacramento County Jail just before 10 pm Monday on $700,000 bond.
Dozens of supporters of Father Uriel Ojeda waited for his release for about eight hours rallying outside the jail. Ojeda’s bail bondsman Paul Sherbenske said some helped make posting his bond possible by listing their homes as collateral.
Sherbenske said Ojeda will have to give up his passport and wear a GPS tracking device while he is out on bail.
Many of Ojeda’s supporters attend the parishes Ojeda served in Redding and Woodland and say he is innocent.
