DALLAS Police, prosecutors and judges in several countries reportedly did nothing to stop Roman Catholic priests from going abroad to escape sexual abuse allegations.
The Dallas Morning News has conducted a yearlong investigation into the international shuffling of accused clergy.
The newspaper found police and prosecutors who had failed to take the most basic steps to catch fugitive clerics.
Some law enforcement officials said they did not have the resources to hunt down wanted priests.
In San Angelo, a prosecutor allowed church officials to send Agusti Huerres, a candidate for the priesthood, home to Spain in 2000.
