DAVIS, Calif. (KCRA) —A Davis priest is charged with statutory rape and oral copulation with a minor, police said Saturday.
Father Hector Coria was arrested Friday after the Davis Police Department served search warrants at several locations, officers said. Coria is now held at the Yolo County Jail.
Police started investigating the sexual abuse allegations earlier this month. The alleged victim is a 17-year-old girl, officers said.
Officials determined Coria, 45, befriended the girl as he served as a priest at the Catholic church.
