A Roman Catholic priest and Boston hospital chaplain has been charged with sexually assaulting a child in 2006, the Boston Globe reports .

Rev. Christian Ohazulume, a visiting priest from Nnewi, Nigeria, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to three counts of aggravated indecent assault and battery of a child under 14.

Prosecutors say Ohazulume was living with the alleged victims family in the suburban city of Randolph when she was about 7 or 8 years old. The woman told investigators that she went to the priests bedroom for help with homework one night when no one else was in the house. She alleges Ohazulume groped her breasts, forcibly kissed her, and touched her vaginal area over her clothing.

Ohazulume eventually became a visiting priest at St. Mary of the Assumption Parish in Brookline, according to the Archdiocese of Boston. He has been assisting in celebrating Mass and hearing confessions at the parish since 2010. Hes also worked as a hospital chaplain at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
