The Rev. Uriel Ojeda may finally enter a plea on molestation charges at a hearing Friday in Sacramento Superior Court.
Ojeda, a 32-year-old former priest at Woodland’s Holy Rosary Catholic Church, faces seven counts of molesting a girl under the age of 14 between 2007 and 2009.
Ojeda served at Holy Rosary from 2007 until 2009. Previous reports said the crimes occurred in Sacramento and Shasta counties, where Ojeda was a parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mercy parish in Redding.
His hearing will take place at 1:35 p.m. in Department 61 at the main jail at 652 I St. Ojeda was released on bail in January when a judge lowered it to $700,000 from $5 million.
