| [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] CINCINNATI ‐ An American priest from Cincinnati has been charged by a federal criminal complaint for allegedly sexually abusing minor boys. The charges follow an international investigation that spanned two continents by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and authorities in the Philippines. Kenneth B. Hendricks, 77, of Cincinnati, was arrested by Manila-based HSI special agents alongside Filipino authorities Tuesday evening in the Philippines, where he currently serves as a missionary priest. Benjamin C. Glassman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Steve Francis, Special Agent in Charge, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), announced the charges. The government unsealed the criminal complaint today. According to that document and its supporting affidavit, on November 13, HSI received information regarding alleged sexual exploitation of multiple minor Filipino boys. Information indicated that a Catholic priest ‐ later identified as Father Hendricks ‐ had been sexually assaulting the boys. Subsequently, several victims have been identified and provided statements to law enforcement.

| #2 They'll be more victims, but more importantly they'll be other paedophiles. These types do not abuse alone. |
