The Las Cruces priest accused of sexually assaulting a Hobbs man surrendered to law enforcement earlier this week, according to the Las Cruces Sun-News citing court records.

Father Ricardo Bauza, 51, turned himself in to Hobbs police on Monday morning, according to his attorney, Jason Bowles of Albuquerque.

Bauza had been wanted by authorities in Hobbs since October after he was accused of sexually assaulting an adult male in 2016 in Hobbs while he was the pastor at St. Helena Catholic Church.
