Novato Police Chief Charles Brobeck said the arrest culminated an investigation that began with a request from Pacifica police. He explained that the Pacifica police had received a report of suspicious behavior involving a man and boy from a waitress in a restaurant in that city. Cunha has been an associate pastor at Our Lady of Loretto since January, 1985. The Novato church was the first assignment after being ordained in December of 1984. Before joining the priesthood, he was a teacher in the Fremont school system.
