Father Uriel Ojeda pleaded no contest to molesting a 13-year-old girl after sneaking into her bedroom as she and her family were asleep.
Not all Catholic priests who abuse minors escape justice.
A California superior court judge sentenced Father Uriel Ojeda, 33, to eight years in state prison on Friday for molesting a teenage girl multiple times.
"My actions were those of a weak and sinful man," Ojeda said in court.
Ojeda pleaded no contest to sneaking into the young girl’s bedroom at her parents’ Sacramento home on the night he was ordained and climbing into bed with her as she slept.
"You traumatized me," the girl told him in a letter that was read in court by Deputy District Attorney Allison Dunham. “And you thought I would never tell anyone, didn't you? But you thought wrong.”
According to the girl’s parents, Ojeda molested their daughter on 10 occasions, and the crimes took place between June 29, 2007, and June 30, 2009, the Sacramento Bee reported.

I know what you’re thinking.
It’s shocking.
Nobody expects it.
The abused was a GIRL!
Leaving himself an out to deny it in the future.
That comment sounds like the writer has an agenda.
The altar boys were too fast to catch!
CA has a new law to protect schools from molestation lawsuits
Rather than the molesters. IIRC that only applies to public schools.
Time to fire another properly adorned stake .... wind, water, and fire.
More like he pays attention and remembers.
I twice went to Mass that this guy presided over.
I was shocked to hear the charges.
13 years old...
I don’t get what fulfillment this guy expected to get out of that type of thing. He did it over a period of time too. Okay, the initial acts, you’ll get some charge over. Then what?
You’ve just trashed up her life, your life..., hurt any family and friends of the both of you.
This is such a destructive thing.
If you can’t stand it and have to act on it, leave the area. Move to another state. Good grief! Don’t do it.
and the weak sinful man plead no contest instead of guilty. nice.
Who does he think he is, the prophet XXXXXXXX (name redacted) ?!
The truth is this man should never have been allowed to become a priest.
Does it rhyme with Schmohammed?
He rapes a girl the night he was ordained and then for years after and only gets 8 yrs?????
Alex can I get a rapist, murderer and animal lover for $100?
We're all weak and sinful. But we don't all rape children. Your actions were those of a reprehensible child molesting waste of oxygen who will get a taste of purgatory for the next decade or so in prison. If you last that long. I'm betting on no.
That was my first thought ... but maybe she was not too developed yet and the priest mistook her for a boy....probably or he backdoored her.
Your actions were from the demonic and you enjoyed it - the reason for the 10 times in secret!
