Priest, J Jayapaul alias Joseph Palanivel arrested charged girl Child sexual abuse
The priest, J Jayapaul alias Joseph Palanivel, 57, of Ariyalur, is accused of sexually assaulting two minor girls at Northern Minnesota in 2004.
He was charged in a US court in 2007.
On Friday Priest, J Jayapaul alias Joseph Palanivel was arrested in India.
The Interpol had approached the additional chief metropolitan magistrate court in New Delhi to secure the priest.
The court sent a warrant to the Erode police to arrest the priest on the basis of which police arrested the Jayapaul on Friday.
The priest, the Rev. Joseph Palanivel Jeyapaul, was working temporarily in the Diocese of Crookston, Minn., which like many United States dioceses is bringing in priests from India because there are not enough American priests to serve its parishes.
Father Jeyapaul ministered to three parishes simultaneously in Crookston, where he was accused of misappropriating church funds as well as sexual abuse.
The criminal complaint from Minnesota said that the 14-year-old girl, whose name is redacted, was praying after school at Blessed Sacrament Church in Greenbush, Minn., when Father Jeyapaul told her to come into the rectory.
The girl claimed that when she refused to touch his genitals, he told her it was a sin and said he “could make her life miserable.” She said he then pushed her down onto a couch, touched her breasts and pulled down his pants.
The woman, now 20, has brought a lawsuit against the Diocese of Crookston.
Now he is arrested and he will be extradicted to USA.
