	Italian Priest Arrested for Alleged Child Sex Inquirer May 26, 2010 http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/world/view/20100526-272157/Italian-priest-arrested-for-alleged-child-sex ROME-- A 73-year-old Italian priest has been arrested in Milan for allegedly abusing a foreign teenager over three years, ANSA news agency reported late Monday. Domenico Pezzini, from the diocese of Lodi, was arrested on Monday over allegations that he sexually abused the alleged victim from the age of 13 to 16. The alleged victim, who is now an adult, could have been helped financially by the priest. He had apparently confided to his teachers of the alleged abuse. The teachers found him disturbed. During a search in the residence of Pezzini, who is well-known in homosexual circles as the coordinator of gay groups studying the question of homosexuality and religion, police found pornographic material, the news agency said. The Vatican has been under attack recently over allegations that the Church has for years been protecting pedophile priests from prosecution by merely moving abusers to other parishes.
