The police in Kerala are searching in several states for a catholic priest who allegedly raped a 14-year-old earlier this year. Father Edwin Figurez Joseph has been suspended from his Parish and a complaint has gone to the Vatican in Rome. The priest is accused of raping the teenager in a church complex in Ernakulam nearly five times between January and March, mostly when she came for confession. He has been missing since May 5, when the state High Court rejected his request for bail.
