DAVIS-
A week-long investigation ended with Davis police arresting Father Hector Coria of St. James Catholic Church.
“Unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and oral copulation, is what occurred here,” Davis Asst. Police Chief Darren Pytel said.
Police believe Coria began the inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old girl from his parish, late last year.
Investigators learned of the alleged affair just this week, and began their investigation, which led them to search several locations Friday, and ended with Coria being booked into the Yolo County Jail.
He has since made bail.
“Well, that may explain why confession was cancelled today,” parishioner Richard Bruce said.
