A Roman Catholic priest is to be put on trial for abusing children in Honduras during missionary trips.
Joseph Maurizio Jr., from Pennsylvania, is accused of molesting three boys and possessing child pornography. He denies the charges.
Meanwhile, a Catholic archbishop Josef Wesolowski has been found dead in Vatican City before he could stand trial, also for the abuse of boys and the possession of child pornography. Had he lived, and been found guilty, he could have spent 35 years in prison.
In Aurora, Colorado, the Reverend John C. Holdren is facing historic sex abuse allegations relating to one child, and other potential victims are being urged to come forward.
