MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — An Indian priest who was convicted of sexual abuse against a minor in Minnesota is now back in ministry.
Father Joseph Jeyapaul was convicted last summer for sexually abusing a girl when he was working at the Blessed Sacrament in Greenbush and St. Joseph’s in Middle River in 2004 and 2005.
Jayapaul was ordained in India and was assigned to the Diocese of Crookston, Minnesota.
Now, county attorneys say with permission from the Vatican, Jeyapaul is back to work in India.
