A Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting a woman earlier this year has been reinstated, at the same San Diego parish.
Father Jose Alexis Davila was quietly reinstated a few weeks ago after another priest left the parish.
Davila, 53, was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault six months ago. He had been preaching at St. Jude’s Church in Southcrest for just two months before his arrest.
He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery for allegedly groping a woman at his home.
