CALIFORNIA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by Barbara Dorris on April 05, 2013
We hope that this trial gets under way soon. Those victimized by Fr. Uriel Ojeda deserve to have a chance at justice.
We are concerned, however, that Fr. Ojeda remains free on bail as his case gets dangerously close to proceeding. At least three Sacramento predator priests – Fr. Gerardo Beltran, Fr. Jose Luis Urbina and Fr. Francisco Javier Garcia – are believed to have fled California after sexually assaulting kids. Given his youth, we fear that Fr. Ojeda also represents a flight risk.
We hope that the judge will begin this trial immediately and that steps are taken to ensure Fr. Ojeda does not flee like other Sacramento predators.
