A Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Minnesota nearly a decade ago will appear in a court in India now that Interpol has tracked him down.
Joseph Jeyapaul, 57, will be extradited back to Minnesota after his appearance in a New Delhi courtroom.
The victim says Jeyapaul attacked her while he was a priest at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Greenbush; however, he went to India before charges could be filed in 2005 and has been working there as a priest since.
