A Buddhist priest is accused of sexually assaulting and fathering a child with an underage girl during his time at Wat Dhammaram Temple in Stickney Township.
Camnong Bual Ubol, 61, was arrested Friday evening in Anchorage, Ala. and charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, according to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
In October of 2011, Cook County Sheriff’s police were contacted by Barbara Blaine, a member of the Survivor’s Network for those Abused by Priests, regarding a then 15-year-old girl who had allegedly been impregnated by Ubol.
The investigators quickly uncovered a paternity test that proved the baby had in fact been fathered by the priest, officials said. The paternity test had been completed in 2010, but had not been turned over to authorities until the investigation.
