FARGO, N.D. — A former Fargo-area priest is being extradited to the United States from the Philippines to face child sex abuse charges.
Fernando Sayasaya (Say-ah-say-ah) is accused of fondling two boys in the mid-1990s, when he served parishes in Fargo and West Fargo. He was charged in 2002 with gross sexual imposition.
A court in the Philippines has ordered Sayasaya to return to the United States. Authorities believe he fled to the Philippines to avoid the charges.
Former Assistant Cass County State’s Attorney Wade Webb says he is pleased with the development.
