	Priest's Sexual Abuse Probed News 24 June 17, 2009 http://www.news24.com/Content/Africa/News/965/67f3c9d64b114316aae9472b11803018/17-06-2009%2010-06/ Priests_sexual_abuse_probed Nairobi - Kenyan police said on Wednesday that they had launched an investigation into allegations that a sexagenarian Italian Catholic priest sexually abused children in his care over a period of 20 years. The case surfaced when a Kenyan television channel earlier this week carried allegations by purported victims and relatives against Father Renato "Kizito" Sesana, a well-known figure in the east African country. "We have seen the case in the media... Investigations have been launched to ascertain the allegations. It is a serious matter," deputy police spokesperson Charles Owino Wahongo said. He said the police had not received any formal complaints yet. The missionary, a former journalist who still keeps a blog and has ties with southern Sudan, held a news conference on Tuesday to deny the allegations. The priest said the allegations were fabricated by "people who are out to malign my name. These are people who are out to take over my properties."
