A Buddhist priest was extradited Thursday from Alaska for questioning in the sexual assault of a teenage girl in Cook County, sheriff’s authorities said.
Camnong Bual Ubol, who once lived and worked at Wat Dhammaram Temple in Stickney Township, has been arrested on a Cook County sheriff’s police warrant for aggravated criminal sexual assault.
Last October, the Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests asked the sheriff’s police to investigate allegations that Ubol, 61, was responsible for fathering a child with a then-15-year-old girl while he worked at the Wat Dhammaram Temple. A paternity test allegedly showed he fathered a child with the girl.
Authorities learned that Ubol had moved to Anchorage, Alaska, and the FBI arrested him on the Cook County warrant. He arrived at O’Hare Airport at about 5 a.m. Thursday in the custody of sheriff’s officers.
