Pedophile Priest Film Debuts in Ireland United Press International February 17, 2007 http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Entertainment/20070217-110855-8267r/ Los Angeles, (UPI) — A critically acclaimed U.S. documentary about a pedophile priest debuted this weekend in Ireland where the disgraced clergyman now lives. Oliver O'Grady was deported back to his native Ireland after he was arrested in 1993 in California and is now the subject of "Deliver Us From Evil," which has been hailed by critics and nominated for an Academy Award. "Deliver Us From Evil" was on the bill at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival Saturday and has been the topic of extensive media coverage in Ireland since the film's release last summer. The Los Angeles Times said Saturday that Irish child-abuse advocates are concerned the publicity could drive O'Grady underground and make it more difficult for authorities to keep an eye on him. There are also worries that a vigilante could subject him to a level of street justice. O'Grady was charged in Stockton, Calif., with a long string of molestations stretching back to the early 1970s, a time when Cardinal Roger Mahoney of Los Angeles was the bishop of the Stockton area. |
