LA priest charged with misconduct with a minor
An LA priest has been arrested after a report was made alleging that he engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor.
Father Jaime Arriaga, 41, was ordained in June 2024 and had been serving as associate pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Downey.
In a statement read this past weekend, April 5-6, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help and at St. Louis of France in La Puente, where Arriaga had served before being ordained, the archdiocese informed parishioners that the priest had “been removed from ministry as a result of a recent report of alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor, which has led to a criminal proceeding.”
