on charges of sexually assaulting a girl repeatedly for three months
while serving as a parish priest in the southern Indian state. Father Edwin Figarez was pastor of Lourde Matha Church in Kottapuram
Diocese when he allegedly violated the 14-year-old girl, a ninth-grade
student, according to police officer T.M. Varghese.
The priest, who attacked the girl several times between January and March 28 this year, became a fugitive after police registered a case against him in April following complaints from the victim's family, Varghese said.
