The priest accused of sexually abusing a minor has turned himself in and confessed, authorities said.
The Rev. Michael Guidry, 75, surrendered Thursday morning at the St. Landry Parish jail and was charged with molestation of a juvenile or a person with a physical or mental disability and with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
His bond was set at $21,500.
St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz said his office opened the investigation when a male victim reported he had been sexually molested by Guidry.
According to the report, the alleged victim was 16 at the time of the assault, which occurred at the priest’s home.
