A priest who was convicted of an assault and battery charge in
California, and who has been serving at a church in Lawton, has been
removed from his position on Tuesday. This was following public outcry
over his appointment.
The news of Father Jose Alexis Davila’s removal from Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church came just days after details of the crime surfaced. He had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault and battery charge for inappropriately touching a 19-year-old woman in 2011. The priest completed his probation requirements and the charges were dismissed October 2015.
