A Catholic priest is accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old parishioner. The trial for 39-year-old Philip Taban is set to begin on Monday.


Taban was visiting from the African nation of Uganda when he allegedly attacked the El Paso teenage girl who attended mass at Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini Church in East El Paso. Father Taban had been conducting masses there.

Police say he and the teen met twice, both times they say she was sexually assaulted.
