Jeyapaul who served as a priest in Crookston township of Minnesota in 2004 and 2005 was arrested in India in 2012 and extradited to the US on charges of sexually abusing two girls in a congregation.
Roman Catholic priest Rev Joseph Palanivel Jeyapaul, facing charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Minnesota, was on Tuesday asked by the Archbishop of Madras to return to the United States for further investigations.
The Madras high court has upheld the arrest of a Catholic priest from Tamil Nadu, charged with abusing a minor girl in the United States, facilitating his extradition to face justice in that country.
