ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A $16 million judgment Friday was awarded to a man who suffered abuse as a child at the hands of a longtime New Mexico pedophile priest.
Father Arthur Perrault fled New Mexico in 1992 and has been hiding out overseas ever since.
“Nobody knew where he was for 25 years,” said attorney Brad Hall.
“We will pursue a pedophile to the ends of the earth, no matter how long it takes us to find him,” Hall said, noting that Perrault was finally discovered living in Tangier, Morocco, last year.
He was working at a school at the time he was located, and since his past was revealed, he no longer works there.
