Fugitive Catholic Priest Arrested in India
By Bridgette P. Lavictoire
The Roman Catholic Church has been known to rather rapidly remove those who do things like get accused of stealing from the Church or speaking out against their hatred of LGBT peoples. Still, The Church hierarchy has no problems just letting things go when it comes to child sexual abuse. Father Joseph Jeyapual was not disciplined officially by the Church after he was accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Minnesota almost a decade ago, nor did they move to discipline him after he fled. Well, Jeyapaul, who is 57, has now been arrested by Interpol. The former priest at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Greenbush, Minnesota had fled to India in 2005 before he could be arrested. He has worked as a priest in India ever since he fled there. He has maintained his innocence, but refused to actually face charges or questions in the alleged assault.
