Fugitive Irish Priest Arrested In Brazil and deported

The priest reportedly came to one boys house to give last rights to the boys father then raped the 13 year old. 18 others came foreword.

"Fugitive Catholic priest Peter Kennedy has been deported from Brazil to Ireland after eight years on the lam. Kennedy was first in the headlines back in 2003 when one of his former victims was awarded $420,000. The accuser claimed that Father Kennedy had raped him when the priest came to the then thirteen-year-old’s family’s home in County Sligo in order to perform last rights for the young man’s dying father.

Kennedy disappeared after around 18 others came forward accusing him of sexual abuse. The abuse dated back to the 1980′s. Kennedy fled to Brazil to evade arrest, and Interpol formally requested that he be arrested and deported."
