A Roman Catholic priest who allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with a teenage girl was arraigned on Tuesday in Yolo Superior Court.
Rev. Hector Coria Gonzales, 46, is charged with three felony courts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a teenager he met while working at a Davis church.
According to the complaint, the charges stem from encounters between Gonzales and a 17-year-old girl that took place at a home, in a vehicle and at the church rectory over eight months.
At the arraignment, Gonzales did not enter a plea, and Yolo County Court Commissioner Janene Beronio scheduled a hearing at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24 in Department 1 for him to do so. There will also be a pre-hearing conference at that time, while the preliminary hearing for the case is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 8 in the same department.
