Priest Arrested After He Repeatedly Harassed 16-year-old Girl in Cagayan
Authorities arrested a priest after he allegedly harassed a 16-year-old girl repeatedly in the church in Cagayan.
The authorities arrested Reverend Father Karole Reward Israel while he was picking up the complainant ‘Anna’. The victim is a member of the youth ministry of St Vincent Ferrer Parish of Solana, Cagayan where the suspect is based.
According to the report, in February, Israel allegedly talked to them for the first time and he also invited her out to eat. After they ate, it was here that the priest began his evil plan with the girl.
Because the suspect was a priest, when she first reported it to her parents, they did not believe her. She claims that her parents even referred to her as crazy over the alleged accusations.
Father Israel continued his horrible work with the girl because her parents didn’t believe him. Israel allegedly continues to curse at the victim even while they are in their convent.
Fortunately, Anna’s teacher helped her file a complaint against the priest since she was nice and considerate. The priest will face layer after layer of complaints, and if they are all true, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
The suspect has so far been freed after being given bail. After learning that one of its priests had allegedly attacked a 16-year-old girl in Cagayan, the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao was unable to conceal their alarm. They stated in their statement that they will assist the law enforcement in their probe of Father Israel.
While the investigation is ongoing, the priest will not be permitted to celebrate mass. Additionally, they pledged to help the victim should the charge against their priest turn out to be accurate.
