The Rev. Uriel Ojeda pleaded no contest today to charges that he molested a girl under 14 years of age while he worked at Catholic parishes in Woodland and Redding.

The plea took place two days after Sacramento Superior Court Judge Eugene L. Balonon denied his motion to exclude the priest’s alleged admissions to the molestation charges to a church official and a private investigator.
