WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A spokeswoman with the Diocese of Palm Beach says they will not bond Father Palimattom out of jail.
Palimattom was arrested Monday after investigators say he showed a minor child pornography.
The Diocese of Palm Beach says Palimattom’s superiors in India will decide whether or not to bond him out on the $10,000 bond, but the local diocese will not be involved.
Diocese officials say background checks revealed no prior misconduct.
According to probable cause reports, a pastor at the church told investigators Palimattom was told to never have contact with a minor without an adult present and also not to go on Facebook.
