Jose Anthony Pinal Contellanos
Ordained: 1980
In 2003, criminal charges against Jose Antonio Pinal Contellanos were dismissed when the United States Supreme Court ruled that a California law reviving older sexual abuse cases was unconstitutional. Pinal was thought to have fled to Mexico to evade the charges at the time they were dismissed. He was alleged to have sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy in 1982 in Gridley, CA.
