A Catholic priest from Cincinnati is facing federal charges alleging he sexually abused multiple young boys in a remote central Philippines town in a case one official described as "shocking and appalling." Philippine immigration authorities arrested Fr. Kenneth Bernard Hendricks in Naval town on the island province of Biliran, Bureau of Immigration spokeswoman Dana Sandoval said Thursday. Hendricks was indicted in Ohio in alleged sexual misconduct in the Philippines, and American authorities said they want to know if there were victims in the U.S., too.
