The following I-Team report began after concerned Catholics asked us to investigate.

Thousands of people who volunteer and coach at Catholic schools may be at risk for identity theft, thanks to a bad hire by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

In 2003, the Archdiocese began fingerprinting and criminal background checks of all church and school volunteers. but the I-Team finds the person they hired to conduct criminal background checks -- was a criminal himself.

I-Team reporter Laure Quinlivan has the exclusive story. [0]

The Archdiocese personnel director knew Alex Henties had a criminal record, and hired him anyway.
