The Hamilton Police Service has arrested and charged a local Catholic priest after investigating allegations of sexual assault that happened at a parish in the North End of Hamilton.
On Sunday, September 18th, 2011, the St. Mary’s Catholic parish located on Park St. N. held a festival in their courtyard. A band from the Toronto area was the entertainment for the event.
It is alleged that at approximately 6:30 p.m., while the band was on a break, the parish priest, Jose SILVA, approached one of the band members and struck up a conversation with him about playing guitar. The band member, an 18 yr. old man from Brampton, was invited back to the priest’s residence, a home on the parish property, to look at a guitar he owned. Out of respect, the man went with the priest. While the man was with the priest he was sexually assaulted. The victim was able to leave the home unharmed and immediately contacted police to report what had happened.
The Hamilton Police Service Victims of Crime Unit continued to investigate and on Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 at approximately 1:30 p.m., arrested Jose SILVA. He was held for a bail hearing scheduled for today.
