FAIRFAX, Va. (ABC7) —
In a case that goes back 14 years, a retired priest turned himself in and was arrested for inappropriately touching a 15-year-old girl.
Gervase Cain, now 86, touched the girl while he was consulting at her home in Fairfax in 2003, according to a statement released by Fairfax County Police.
The case was first reported in 2004, but it was withdrawn. In May, the case was reopened and a warrant was issued for Cain’s arrest on July 17.
After becoming aware of the warrant, Cain turned himself in Wednesday at a police station.
