A former Woodland priest has had his preliminary hearing continued until July, according to Sacramento Superior Court records.
The Rev. Uriel Ojeda, 32, served as a priest at Woodland’s Holy Rosary Catholic Church from 2007 until 2009. His hearing Friday was continued until 8:30 a.m. Friday, July 20, at the Sacramento Downtown Courthouse, 720 Ninth St.
He pleaded not guilty in April to seven counts of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a girl under the age of 14 between 2007 and 2009.
The criminal complaint states the crimes occurred in Sacramento and Shasta counties, where Ojeda was a parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mercy parish in Redding.
