RIBANDAR: The former Parish Priest of Ribandar Fr. Newton Rodrigues currently Pastor of St. Bernadette Church at Calgary in Canada had in 2004 confessed to Auda Viegas, President of a Women’s Rights NGO “Bailancho Exvott” of having molested the 13 year old Ribandar girl.
This has been revealed in the signed statement of Auda Viegas recorded by the Crime Branch on 9th November 2004 and sent along with the charge sheet filed against Adv. Aires Rodrigues and 14 others in the 2004 Ribandar Church case.
Interestingly the police have not included Auda Viegas in their list of witnesses in the charge sheet against Adv. Aires Rodrigues and neither has the prosecution now sought to examine her in the trial which is currently going on before Panjim Judicial Magistrate First Class Mrs. Sarika Faldessai. Adv. Aires Rodrigues has already informed the Court that he would however examine Auda Viegas as his defence witness.
Auda Viegas had visited Ribandar on 16th August 2004 to meet Father Newton Rodrigues and also the victim girl to ascertain the facts of the alleged molestation case. It was on that same day that Father Newton Rodrigues filed a complaint against Adv. Aires Rodrigues and 14 others for allegedly trespassing into the church and disturbing a Parish Pastoral Council meeting
In her statement to the Crime Branch Auda Viegas had stated that when she visited Fr Newton Rodrigues on 16th August 2004 to discuss the issue he had told her that while he was touching the girl’s pendant that his hand had touched the minor girl’s breast. The alleged incident had taken place just before midnight mass on Christmas Eve when Father Newton Rodrigues took the minor girl to his bedroom on the pretext of confession.
Auda Viegas in a statement to the Crime Branch further stated before meeting Father Newton Rodrigues that day she had earlier gone to meet the minor girl who had confirmed the facts about her molestation by Fr Newton Rodrigues. Auda Viegas further also stated that the girl and her mother were in tears when they were narrating to her the facts of the alleged molestation by Father Newton Rodrigues.
Auda Viegas also stated that after meeting Father Newton Rodrigues and while leaving the Church she had seen Adv. Aires Rodrigues and around 15 others in the corridor of the church but that she did not hear any noise in the corridor of the Church.
All Goans know how much respect this Aires Rodrigues has for women ask his separated wife and son and his second wife will also be willing to throw light on this eccentric and Vicious man !!! What Auda Viegas has to say has to taken with a pinch of salt Auda Viegas Tara Kerkar Sabina Martins ( GBA ) are all in the same league they head NGO ( non governmental Organisations ) who are professional paid agents these NGO thrive on funds are actuallly parasites of Goan society !!!

Aires is an eccentric vicious revengful and buyable snake corrupt to the core !!!!
ReplyDelete@David Leitao, you seems to be sentimental in your personal attack against Aires Rodrigues. Here, the case is about providing proof of facts from the past. Your personal attack against Aires does not prove any fact but a fools dream. Likewise, we can assume yourself as "waht and not', all to our own fancy. That does not make sense. Your attack should be on the system, the system that is run by these corrupt police and government. Why was Auda's statement left out? I do agree with you that Auda and others are like seasonal frogs, croak in the first rain and then go into hibernation. I respect Aires for the causes he fights for, how much success he met with is another story. When there are people to sabotage good causes, what else can you expect?
ReplyDeleteI fully support what David Leitao has written. When anyone point fingers against anybody, he or she should be above board. It's just like kettle calling the pot black. His attack on Fr. Newton Rodrigues are going on for far too long. We who use this site are fed up with this topic. Let the law now take its course and let Aires report to us what's the judgement.
ReplyDeleteWhat was Auda doing all these years? Sleeping and dreaming when to open her mouth? Like Don Quixote said, Auda and Company are like seasonal forgs. Now, they too have been banned from hunting, so they can croack like Auda and Company when the season comes and go into hybernation when it really matters, to put up their heads and wonkahum! wonkahhum!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame the Canadian Government has allowed a priest to change his name when he branded a pedophile in Goa.
ReplyDeleteSure! When anyone points fingers against anybody, he or she should be above board! Who's the one who has pointed fingers at Aires and 14 other villagers????
ReplyDeleteThe LAW will surely take it course, it is very obvious.
From the irrational arguments put forth here it seems one should conclude that Aires has molested their wives or daughters.
Auda is first class bitch,I don't say Fr.Newton is saint but Aires should remember this Auda is sister and sister-in-law of two greatest goons from s.goa annade and dadarao...and all of them runs where they can make easy money.Anadi Veigas wants only Goan Judges to cheat his clients.....and you asshole Aires why are you silence on German girl rape case....are you not the conspirator in the rape of that minor girl?
ReplyDeleteI fully support David Leitao's view about Aires. Aires should have acted in CONAIR as Aires is not a man of word.
ReplyDeleteI feel that this is too much. Niz Goenkar should stop publishing the news of Fr. Newton. The so called victim and her mother are silent and have withdrawn their case so why is Aires so much interested in this case. Aires there is a saying in the Bible "When there is a big splinter in your eyes you should not try to remove speck from the eye of your brother" These are the words of Lord Jesus himself. Hope Aires reads the Bible.
ReplyDeleteIdiot traitor Aires is a paid agent of BJP / MGP. One should know by now.
ReplyDeleteCant trust Auda Viegas. Her own bro Anacleto of the pimp party UGDP publicly says so.
