SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Uriel Ojeda, a Roman Catholic priest accused of repeatedly molesting a teenage parishioner under the age of 14, has pled no contest to charges.
Ojeda was arrested by the Sacramento Police Department at 8 p.m. on November 30, 2012 at police headquarters and booked into the Sacramento County Jail on charges of lewd or lascivious act with a child under 14 and lewd acts on a child under 14 in which the victim was at least 10 years younger than the perpetrator.
A spokeswoman with the Sacramento County District Attorney’s office said Ojeda he had admitted to an investigator for the Sacramento Catholic Diocese that he repeatedly molested a parishioner.
Ojeda was assigned to Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Redding and prior to that was a priest at Holy Rosary Parish in Woodland until being transferred in the summer of 2009.
