An American priest has been arrested after being accused of sexually abusing multiple young boys while he was doing missionary work in the Philippines.

Now U.S. authorities are calling for the public's help in determining whether or not he had any victims stateside.

Rev. Kenneth Hendricks is in custody of police authorities in Manila now, and is facing federal charges in Ohio where he maintains a residence.

Ben Glassman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, said that the case started when two Filipino boys reported alleged abuse to local authorities, prompting an investigation and subsequent accusations from other boys.

Wonderful...
