3:35 pm
a credible public document it has to be either a court document that's publicly accessible or a mainstream news outlet. father she began her work fourteen years ago sorry refuge in the states these activists publish the names and photos of accused priests on the internet to try to ensure they never come into contact with children again. this is just the letter a and it just keeps going. so far so all in the entire database we have forty four hundred names to be of any friend in the least we do have several so father revoir is a very troubling case because he abused this young boy and and mario innuit boy did report the abuse eventually within statute and was fled he in one thousand nine hundred three it somehow spirited him back to
3:36 pm
france. where he lives safely now that's not the case of his victim who took his own life in december of two thousand and twelve to avoid justice one french priest accused of a sexual abuse of minors is thought to have fled to canada and be hiding in front of the story barely seems credible. we contacted the sister of one of the priests presumed victims. as he told the league speaks to us from northern canada deep in in a way territory her brother maher used to go he committed suicide five years ago he has filed a complaint against the french priest and she has sent us some old photos of her and her kid brother and want to follow revoir will be modest. he has seen the what happened she. was responsible about why he decided to cheat on.
3:37 pm
3:38 pm
after the priest since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. on it we discover the name of mario's of but also to other boys made anonymous by the police with black lines. a girl of fourteen is also among the legit victims. in all the priest is thought to have abused four children. finally in the top left hand corner of vital piece of information the name of the town where the priest is believed to be hiding in france a small town in the book lose where there's a monastery belonging to his community. so we catch the train to strasbourg. that's right because in the meantime we've got hold of some internal documents from his community the father revoir has been transferred several times. after obviously in canada he didn't stay in who is presumed by the canadian police he apparently were next to two of time nearly all and that's where we lost track of
3:39 pm
him. but after several months of inquiries during a phone call to a priest from a priori were father of war had stayed unwittingly gave us a new lead. which is to say the priest one of the by the canadian police for one thousand years for sexually abusing four children seemingly lives here in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. we'll film with a hidden camera. whoa. what we want to show we were mentioning what. it was and it. was our information was correct. yet all. the priest is here at the end of the corridor or.
3:40 pm
you know so you know who can measure the thought of article on the move to power almost as well it will be good only john used a vow never to work a school for like the essence of less of only the state or the norwest going to do over time is the business of luck i was just off on for the body to ruin it i wanted to for there is was extra. in the movement of all that one of the only to get through the school so before she had one of the at the district little. slip and another member in months more. is going to screw norm do not use good so that he could push was a. trick or over him here peter could hear shit to him. so this was a long history of this was. we sure the photo of the young into it mari is totally commercial so that's true for all. involved as it is there's
3:41 pm
a number of us in the suit and says the c.d.'s i've also got national say about this is you did those even though you don't feel the same maybe i felt it was his expression as you really didn't want to be good so he says there is room. to be getting answers or. this is. the method i use it is it's written there than i have done a diagonal you know it was it's no use both of us were not serious things going on as he was in a rush just exactly the same just replace some sort of scoop it was a bit out of his it shimmers off really blown off let me papa our school is a comical person. isn't it a very they want the grace isn't hostility with me for. how can a priest accused of the sexual abuse of minors change countries and homes and stay
3:42 pm
out of the to. because of the police and justice for almost twenty years. and is it true. one man may have an explanation. back in the united states or former american priest patrick walsh. since the one nine hundred ninety s. has been a close up witness of pedophile scandal. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fit to dismiss it to you like you know there's this isn't my cup of tea is going up the study hall maybe
3:43 pm
a bit of. old john philadelphia. the only palestinians is gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is about those who in the world under the ocean vision didn't know who could do this. and that is a lot at that age to have to display any of the muscle that you have an identical t.v. in the doesn't seem to do more among us also because often. follow we're here in st petersburg attending the annual st petersburg international economic forum for our topic is from the atlantic to the pacific we all know the world is changing we talk about what moves these changes and who's behind. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder of foreign aid be held in the death penalty just because they think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows. as that for every nine executions one
3:44 pm
convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the respect they get kelly hears because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through that for this isn't the way. to. join the monastery as a very idealistic twenty year old and thought i was going to be a monk a priest and unfortunately it didn't work out that way because so many sex abuse
3:45 pm
cases came forward that i ended up actually being ordained early to go work on and follow sex abusers who were being withdrawn and at that point at the age of thirty two i had to make a moral decision am i going to support this institution you know in my part of this or do i have to find a different path and that's when i chose to take it take a different path and to help survivors what do you think since then patrick was become a whistle blower an expert called on to testify in over two thousand cases of priests accused of sexual abuse. according to him the catholic church has developed a system to exfiltrate pedophile priests. that's the same pattern we've seen in australia it's the same pattern we've seen in the united states it's the same pattern we've seen in canada it's the same pattern in ireland in england in italy
3:46 pm
it's honestly it's in the d.n.a. of the roman catholic system and i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do that he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator and then at that point he simply moves him to a different spot where the previous scandal is not known and it is not enough to move him outside the country that's that's a geographic solution you can move in from continent to continent as long as you can speak the language that is needed it looks legitimate and so he's going to be accepted without question that's where the danger comes. an anonymous source will provide us with proof of the geographical solution described by patrick wall. one evening we received dozens of internal documents from the community of st john five hundred brothers present throughout the world. this french community is highly
3:47 pm
controversial. it has the highest number of priests found guilty of pedophilia in recent years three since two thousand and twelve. and there are thought to have been more cases of sexual abuse it's all there in black and white. as we turn the pages we get a strange feeling the community seems to have become a master in the dark of the international displacement of priests suspected of sexually abusing children. among the pile of documents from the commune. city of st john one recent letter draws our attention. and sends us rushing to the airport. here's the letter signed by a high ranking church official this archbishop from cameroon. he wrote to the head
3:48 pm
of the community of st john having decided to exclude from the u.c.c. several st john priests he explained himself. reverend brother some brothers of st john got themselves into situations of extreme gravity the brothers in question were about to be hauled in front of the courts at a risk of dirtying the damage of our church i used all my weight to make sure this did not happen. what have these french priest done to incur the wrath of an archbishop. in cameroon a mostly catholic country the community of st john is an institution. the brothers run one of the biggest high schools in your own day the capital. but invert to uk and east of the country the brothers of state john have left town.
3:49 pm
until two thousand and fourteen they oversaw this cathedral the biggest in the region. and. we go to see the archbishop the one who asked the same john priest to leave. months in your a tango one of the african representatives of the vatican. tells you that. many will say no good in an internet solution about us in closing down at the mills when i came it wasn't to go went out into the. city you know this is just underneath and he did it you're. listening. because it is what up on the train it wanted to be new he's going to die and then he mustn't think he's visited to pop up on i found out as confused as he seemed to guess she lived. back look he said i'm here because i don't was an occasional if a new yankee margin the cashier is
