Mafia hits 'new low': Reputed Gambino mobsters charged with running
Craigslist teen prostitution ring
BY Alison Gendar and Rich Schapiro DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS April 20th
2010 The Mafia is alive and kicking - and pimping out teenage girls
for sex on Craigslist. Authorities on Tuesday charged seven reputed
members of the Gambino crime family with running an interstate sex-
trafficking ring - calling it a "new low" for the mob. Another seven
wiseguys - including the family's current boss, Daniel Marino - were
also busted for a litany of crimes, some dating back to the era when
John Gotti was in charge. Authorities said the prostitution service
was a first for an organized crime crew. "No crime seems too depraved
to be exploited if it was a money-maker, including the sexual
exploitation of a 15-year-old," said FBI Special Agent-in-Charge
George Venizelos.

Delaware pediatrician faces more sex charges By the CNN Wire Staff
April 19, 2010 (CNN) - A Delaware pediatrician was indicted Wednesday
on 58 additional counts of rape and other sexual offenses in the
alleged child abuse of his patients, state Attorney General Beau Biden
announced Monday. Dr. Earl Bradley, 56, previously pleaded not guilty
to 471 felony counts involving 102 girls and one boy. Wednesday's
indictment -- which includes charges of rape, unlawful sexual contact,
continuous sexual abuse of a child and sexual exploitation -- involves
24 girls he saw as patients from 1999 to 2009. Biden has said the
charges are based on "video and digital evidence" seized from
Bradley's home and medical practice in December, when the doctor was
arrested. http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/04/19/doctor.sex.charges/index.html
Church pedophilia scandal grows in Latin America By TALES AZZONI AP
April 20, 2010 SAO PAULO - The detention of an 83-year-old priest in
Brazil for allegedly abusing boys as young as 12 in a case involving
lurid videotape and a congressional investigation has added to the
scandals hitting the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America. The
allegations against Monsignor Luiz Marques Barbosa — and two other
Brazilian priests — have made headlines throughout the world's most
populous Catholic nation and come amid accusations of sexual abuse by
priests across the world....Congressional investigators said more than
20 witnesses were called and some testified Barbosa and two other
priests in the same northeastern archdiocese had abused boys as young
as 12, plying them with money, clothes and other gifts.

Chile priest charged with abusing daughter, others AP By FEDERICO
QUILODRAN, Apr 14, 2010
SANTIAGO, Chile – A Chilean priest has been charged with eight cases
of sexually abusing minors, including his own daughter, and his
diocese says he was suspended from his duties in the Roman Catholic
Church early this year. Ricardo Munoz Quinteros, 55, is accused of
paying young girls for sex. State television broadcast video Tuesday
night that it said shows the priest entering a motel with a young girl
he paid for her services. Prosecutors in Curacavi, on the outskirts of
Santiago, formally charged Munoz on Tuesday with crimes dating back
five years, expanding the initial sex abuse charges for which he was
jailed in January. Prosecutor Cristian Caceres said investigators are
looking at whether the diocese tried to cover up for Munoz's
activities, noting a series of transfers of the priest among four
parishes in a few years, according to Radio Bio-Bio. According to the
charges, the priest abused girls between 16 and 18 years old, as well
as his own daughter who was 5 years old at the time.

Priest accused of sexual abuse - Father Chase is on administrative
leave from parish By Alicia Ebaugh Staff Writer April 20, 2010
MICHIGAN CITY — Facing an allegation of sexual abuse from 19 years
ago, Father Terrence Chase of Queen of All Saints Catholic Church has
been placed on administrative leave. Parishioners were first made
aware of an investigation into the incident this weekend, although it
was reported to Bishop Dale Melczek and Chesterton police nearly a
month ago, officials said....The alleged sexual misconduct took place
in 1991 while Father Chase was a pastoral associate at St. Patrick
Church in Chesterton, Plaiss said. On Thursday, the day Father Chase
was officially placed on leave, he issued a statement maintaining his
innocence, saying the allegations are “simply not true.”

Movie: All God’s Children - Through the eyes of three families, All
God’s Children tells the personal story of the first boarding school
for children of missionaries to be investigated for abuse at the hands
of the parents’ missionary colleagues. The survivors and parents share
their journey of seeking justice, redemption and healing. The
Beardslee, Shellrude and Darr families left North America for West
Africa during the 1950s. They followed what they believed to be “God’s
Calling” – to spread Christianity throughout the world. Their children
however - starting at the age of 6 – were required to attend the
boarding school in Mamou, Guinea, run by the Christian and Missionary
Alliance. Cut off from their families for 9 months out of the year and
without any reliable means of communication, the children quietly
suffered emotional, spiritual, physical and/or sexual abuse at the
hands of the all-missionary staff. It took the children decades to
acknowledge the effects the abuses had on their lives. When they
finally dared to break the silence and speak out, the Church denied
all allegations and refused to help. But through years of persistent
activism the survivors and their parents finally compelled the
Christian and Missionary Alliance to conduct an investigation and
acknowledge the abuses. The healing could begin.
