A 77-year-old American priest was arrested in the Philippines on Wednesday (Dec 5) for allegedly molesting dozens of boys while serving for over three decades at a church in Biliran province, south of Manila.
Agents from the US Department of Homeland Security and the Philippine Bureau of Immigration nabbed Kenneth Hendricks inside the Cathedral of Our Lady Rosary Parish in Naval town, in Biliran.
“He did not resist arrest,” said Senior Superintendent Julius Coyme, the provincial police director.
A report from the immigration bureau said Hendricks had an arrest warrant for a rape complaint filed in Ohio for “engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places”.
The complaint was lodged by one of his alleged victims.
