7:34 pm
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. 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 oid did report the abuse eventuality within statute and was fled he in one thousand nine hundred three somehow spirited him back to france . where he live 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 the sexual abuse of minors is thought to have fled to canada and be hiding in front of the story barely seems credible. we
7:35 pm

7:37 pm
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 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 with next to two of time nearly all and that's what we lost track of . 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 see the priest one of the by the canadian police for nineteen years for sexually abusing four children seemingly lives here
7:38 pm
in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. we'll film with a hidden camera. whoa. what we want to show he was motioning to and. shoot it was. all our information was correct. you know all. the priest is here at the end of the corridor or. you know so you know who can imagine the thought of article on you too far almost as well very scared little you only then used a vow never to look a screw up on like the best and that's the only the story told in the west only knew every time because it was a said walk i was just off on from the body to ruin it i wanted to fit there is was
7:39 pm
extra. in the groove really about what happened or the only thing that's risky or so before you have elevated to struggle with about. number number in months or more. it's going to it's going to norm do not use good so what it was was a. trick or oh wait i'm here pinocchio here should be him. so this was a no no this one with us was. we sure the photo of the young into it maher used to lick commercials just confirmed. in the winters is a number of us in the soup insist this is b.s. i've also got actually all he said about this is you did those you don't feel the same maybe i felt it was his excuse you really didn't want to be good to be caesar there is room. to be relinquished there's no room.
7:40 pm
in the military who said it was it's written there then i have them on a diet and you know it was it's no use at all to falsely nasiri which community was either rush or it's not it. doesn't just include some sort of scoop. was a bit out of his it shimmers off the label cough let me papa parse. a local person in the senate as they do all i need all the graces that are there with me and. how can a priest accused of the sexual abuse of minors change countries and homes and stay out of the clutches of the police and justice for almost twenty years. and is it an isolated case. one man may have an explanation. back in the united states we've arranged to meet a former american priest patrick wall. since the one nine hundred ninety s. has been a close up witness of pedophile scandal. cooked
7:41 pm
additional subversive note of what was and etc to look at some of these it's just a butcher looking isn't enough. to steal it. simple yet so when timothy thomas helplessly. looked with a showing at the plant looked up a skeleton is lost when a chit. vehicle ship. efficient solely to vote on a ship and. yet when you lost in the book it will look at the person able. to say no i do know what the full. was the latest was in the book us. at arsenal poison all right so you have put
7:42 pm
this was one of those a. little fish through the syringe story yeah. it's. quite frankly i think only just misses in libya have deteriorated and have fragmented and it is extremely important that we have a new digital mysie over a presidency that has the vote of the libyan people people who have aspirations like freedom indeed to have aspirations like living in dignity and quite frankly to deny them the right to vote with the pretext that oh it's not time yet or you don't have bread so you should not be asking for the vote you should vote for people who will provide the bread and who are you provide the services. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would
7:43 pm
prefer and it means when the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the. and there we more executing innocent people is terrifying and there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many of the victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to 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 this this isn't their way. and you or. me right.
7:44 pm
when. i am. and. i don't. want. 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 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 a different path and to help survivors do you think since then patrick was become
7:45 pm
a whistle blower an expert called on to testify in over two thousand cases of priests accused of sexual abuse it. 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. it's the same pattern. in england in italy 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. the priest is is a perpetrator. point he simply moves him to a different spot where the previous scandal is not. and if. you move him outside the country that's. the geographic solution you can move in from the continent
7:46 pm
as long as he can speak the language that is needed it looks. as though 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. one evening we received dozens of internal documents from the community of st john five hundred brothers present throughout the world. community is highly 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. as we turn the pages we get a strange feeling the community seems to have become
7:47 pm
a master of the international displacement of priests suspected of sexually abusing children. among the pile of documents from the community 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 of the community of st john having decided to exclude from the jusice 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
7:48 pm
did not happen. what had 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 in virtue of in the east of the country the brothers of state john have left town. 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 and you're a tango one of the african representatives of the vatican. many
7:49 pm
will say no and no internet solution about those who kills now on them is where i came in it wasn't to go in and out of the. on the. sit in you know this is just a nice time cause he did it. because it is what up on the train it wanted to be knew his going to down then he must do to get his presented to topical and i found out as confusedly seemed to guess she. could imagine because i don't was an occasional if a new yankee was going to crash it is difficult we did do. this one point and it wanted to be knew it was a. lead coming late. and. we tried to dig deeper but not always did what she needed to yesterday did reality see a lot out of your grandma to bug and symbols are going to want it back and this christmas it comes. if you want to go to the river but i was at let's sort
7:50 pm
of as i said. that you let go of it ourselves. yes thanks for your precious comments are great but they weren't exactly helpful. i think in future but too i will discover the reasons why the st john brothers hurriedly left town another alleged case of pedophilia. the sexual abuse of a number of boys. for three days we try to find these presumed victims. in this city where the catholic church is omnipresent it's hard to broach the subject. finally we find one of the kids who was supposedly abused by the priest. today he's fifteen. percent yes.
7:51 pm
the cheerleader p.c.'s. she says but this is. we show him one of the community's internal documents that we managed to procure the mug shots of all the st john brothers across the globe five hundred eight and. we'll. see this priest had indeed been posted in her to a. you are abusing the rules coming for you to do or go to school. and into the new school. the new. competitor does you don't need.
7:52 pm
after a few weeks the boy finally admitted everything to risperidone the meeting he went together to the bar to a law courts to file a complaint. but here nobody touches the church i lent us a nice little pill could do a lot of thing because on up as if you do know it then there's so much you just so she do to. threaten its own she sees someone you know. a little bit about to see really pretty simple as that things go the. same for example. in pursuing the justice of men seems to serve men of god. we have an appointment with a civil servant inside the ministry of justice. film discrimination.
7:53 pm
the stock market trading at all time highs the debt load peak everywhere as they had to join in fifty three or fifty five hundred percent debt to g.d.p. this is a planet on the verge of a major war to nami of just. what the politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line they did accept or reject. so when you want to be president. some want to be rich. but you're going to be the person was like them before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the wives about how. best to. know who is going to accept the sort of the best was the right to live my life.
7:54 pm
it's. like saying. i don't but i just thought i would love me. while i'm somebody doesn't know it's a mess you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting whether it's your. mistrust the tibetans are. going to say goodbye to your. boss that you give me a month. just because of that interview but i'm going to consider if you go minute that's and in the muslims all these clear when.
