Victims’ group: Documents show Mexican cardinal knew of sexual abuse before priest sent to US
Tagged: children, Mexico, mexico city, policePosted on: September 11th, 2007“A victims’ group said Tuesday that newly released documents support its claim that Mexico’s most prominent cardinal knew a Mexican priest was suspected of molesting children but transferred him to the United States anyway.
The group, Survivor’s Network of Those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, made public written correspondence between Mexico City Cardinal Norberto Rivera and Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony. It also released a 1986 Mexican police report in which witnesses alleged the suspect spent the night with young boys while working as a priest in the central state of Puebla.”
