	Parishioners Bail out Priest in Child Sex Case Mercury News November 9, 2010 http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_16564677?nclick_check=1 Parishioners have bailed out of jail a Roman Catholic priest charged with felony sex crimes against a 12-year-old California boy. The Rev. Alejandro Jose Castillo was arrested Oct. 25 at his Ontario home and he was charged with seven counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14 and one count of forcible lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14. The Riverside Press-Enterprise says hundreds of people affiliated with the parishioners group Coalition to Exonerate Fr. Alex raised the $24,000 in bail money. Coalition director Ted Campos says they believe in his innocence. As a condition for release, Castillo can have no contact with minors. He was removed as pastor of Ontario's Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in June.
