SACRAMENTO — The preliminary hearing for a suspended Redding priest charged with seven felony counts of child molestation was continued today for the second time until Sept. 7, a spokeswoman for the Sacramento County district attorney’s office said.

That hearing had been scheduled for last month, but was continued then until today.

The Rev. Uriel Ojeda, 32, was arrested Nov. 30, 2011, after surrendering to law enforcement officials in Sacramento County. The allegations came to light when the diocese received a complaint from a parishioner’s family.
