A Blue Earth priest who organizes support for an orphanage in his native India has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree criminal sexual conduct of a female, according to Faribault County jail records.
Leo Charles Koppala, 47, of the Catholic Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Blue Earth was taken into custody by Blue Earth city police about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, the jail record said.
Additional details were not immediately available.
The Diocese of Winona, in which Koppala serves, said it would issue a written statement about the matter.
