From Central Florida-Kissimmee police said a pastoral counselor accused of touching one of his patients inappropriately is now inviting some of his patients to his home.
News 6 first reported the arrest of Dr. Gerardo "Jerry" DeJesus -- an Episcopal priest and a pastoral counselor -- in January.
Investigators said one of his patients called police after he "touched her in an unwanted manner outside the scope of his care."
Officers said they arrested DeJesus and charged him with three counts of battery.
Now, police said, they've learned that DeJesus is inviting some of his patients to his home.
"I can't for the life of me fathom why he would be putting himself in that situation," said his accuser, who wished to remain anonymous.
News 6 checked with the Episcopal Diocese of Orlando, where Bishop Gregory Brewer said he immediately "inhibited (DeJesus) from functioning as a priest in any capacity" after his arrest.
