A Springfield priest was charged with sexually assaulting a man who had come to him for guidance in February, Fairfax County police said.
Father Luis Fernando Franco Henao, 40, of Saint Bernadette Parish, turned himself over to authorities on Wednesday, police said. He is facing a count of sexual battery.
Franco Henao allegedly inappropriately touched a 29-year-old man on the parish grounds on Feb. 2, after the man came to him seeking support, police said.
The victim reported the crime at the end of November. Franco Henao was processed and released on Wednesday. Police declined to release further details about the case.
