	Ready to Go to US to Prove My Innocence: Priest Press Trust of India April 7, 2010 http://www.ptinews.com/news/598819_Ready-to-go-to-US-to-prove-my-innocence--Priest Roman Catholic priest Rev Joseph Palanivel Jeyapaul, facing charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Minnesota, today said he was ready to go to the US if his presence was required for the case. "This should help me prove my innocence," said 55-year-old Jeyapaul, whom prosecutors in Minnesota said they were trying to get extradited to the US. Jeyapaul, who has denied the sexual abuse allegations, told PTI over phone that "I am out of station. I can't give you (any information) anything more." Fr Amalraj, the Bishop of Udhagamandalam in Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris district, had said yesterday that Jeyapaul had gone to Chennai to discuss the issue with advocates. Archbishop of Madras-Mylapore Rev Fr Malayappan Chinnappa has said the priest should face the investigations and there was no way out.
