	Pedofilia, Abusi Nell'oratorio la Repubblica June 30, 2008 http://www.repubblica.it/2008/05/sezioni/cronaca/pedofilia/arrestato-parroco/arrestato-parroco.html ROMA - Approfittava del suo abito talare per abusare dei bambini che frequentavano l'oratorio o i campi estivi. E' finito in carcere l'ex parroco della Nativita di Maria Santissima a Roma. Cinquantacinque anni, R.C. e stato arrestato con l'accusa di aver violentato almeno sette bambini negli ultimi dieci anni, tra il '98 e il marzo scorso. All'epoca dei fatti le vittime erano minorenni, provenienti da famiglie povere e disagiate. In precedenza, l'ex parroco era stato sospeso un mese dal suo incarico dopo che alcune voci avevano svelato le sue tendenze pedofile. L'indagine e partita dalla denuncia di un altro prete. Lo accusano in sette ma gli inquirenti temono che i bambini violentati siano stati molti di piu. Li sceglieva tra gli iscritti al catechismo e li invitava a casa sua, nell'appartamento accanto alla chiesa, "per mangiare qualcosa insieme" o per fargli qualche ora di ripetizione. Ma non era l'amicone sorridente e spiritoso che voleva apparire. Rimasto solo con i ragazzini, spaventati e spesso dal carattere fragile, ne abusava per poi "pagarli" con qualche soldo, un cd o una maglietta colorata. Raccontano le vittime, oggi tra i 16 e i 24 anni, che prima di violentarli li costringeva anche a vedere dei film pornografici. Forse gli stessi che gli agenti hanno trovato in casa del sacerdote prima di arrestarlo. Ma c'e chi ha denunciato di essere stato costretto a subire sevizie anche in montagna, durante i campi estivi della parrocchia. La notizia dell'arresto dell'ex parroco non ha sorpreso: nel quartiere molti sapevano. Il sacerdote era stato gia sospeso un mese dall'esercizio delle sue funzioni perche tra i fedeli girava la voce che coltivasse un'attrazione inconfessabile verso i bambini. [translation] The former parish priest of a church in the Capital, arrested with the charge of pedophilia. Seven victims accused him. Violences also in the mountain summer camps Pedophilia, abuses in the oratory A priest arrested in Rome ROME – He profited from his clerical robe to abuse the children who frequented the oratory or the summer camps. He ended up in jail the former parish priest of the church Nativita' di Maria Santissima in Rome. R.C., 50-year-old, was arrested with the charge of having raped at least seven children in the past ten years, in the period between '98 and last March. When the alleged incidents occurred the victims were all minors, belonging to poor and disadvantaged families. Previously, the former parish priest had been suspended from his activity after some rumors were spread about his pedophile tendencies. The investigation started after he was accused by another priest. Seven are the accusers but the investigators are afraid that there are many more raped children. The priest chose them among those who frequented catechism classes, inviting them in his home, in the apartment house abutting the church "to eat something together" or to tutor them. But he wasn't the friendly and jovial chap he pretended to be. When he was alone with the scared boys, often with a fragile personality, he abused them and then "repaid" them back with some money, a CD or a colored T-shirt. The victims, now between 16 and 24 years old, recall that before being raped he also forced them to watch some pornographic movies. Perhaps they are the same movies the police found in the priest's home before arresting him. There are also some victims who accused him of abusing them in the mountain summer camps organized by the parish. The news about the arrest of the former parish priest wasn't a surprise in that neighborhood because many were those who knew. The priest had already been suspended from his activity because among the faithful word was spread about his non-confessable attraction towards the children.
