A suspended Redding priest charged with seven felony counts of child molestation will be in Sacramento County Superior Court today for a trial readiness conference.
The Rev. Uriel Ojeda, 33, is scheduled to begin standing trial Tuesday.
Arrested Nov. 30, 2011, Ojeda is accused of seven counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a teenage girl over a two-year span — starting when she was 14 — in Sacramento and Shasta counties, according to the criminal complaint. The allegations came to light when the diocese received a complaint from a parishioner’s family.
