A PROMINENT Australian entertainer has been arrested by Scotland Yard
detectives in London on suspicion of sexual offences. Metropolitan
Police confirmed officers have arrested an 82-year-old man living in
Berkshire.

He was arrested by detectives involved in Operation Yewtree - which is
investigating the Jimmy Savile child sex abuse scandal that has rocked
the UK. He was released about 11.30pm UK time after being questioned
by detectives. His present whereabouts are unknown. A Scotland Yard
spokesman said he was bailed to a date in May, pending further
inquiries.

Operation Yewtree was former in the wake of revelations the now
deceased television host and radio DJ Savile, sexually abused and
assaulted more than 400 people, mostly children, over five decades in
hospitals, schools and BBC's London studios....

$10 million Los Angeles settlement first since document release
by  Brian Roewe  Mar. 28, 2013

As Cardinal Roger Mahony entered the Sistine Chapel in Rome March 12
to begin the process of electing the next pope, his name made
headlines in his home diocese for other reasons.

The cardinal, the Los Angeles archdiocese and an ex-priest agreed to
settlements in four clergy abuse-related cases, totaling $9.9 million.
The settlements are the first since the late January court-ordered
release of 12,000 pages of abuse-related documents, and Mahony's ban
from public and administrative duties in the archdiocese.

On the same day another case, at the northern end of the state, also
made headlines when a visiting priest was arrested on suspicion of
child abuse.

The former priest at the center of the Los Angeles settlements was
Michael Baker, who was removed from the priesthood in 2000 and
convicted in 2007 of molesting two children. He was paroled in 2011
after initially receiving a 10-year prison sentence.

The release of the files factored into the settlements, an attorney
for the alleged victims told the Los Angeles Times.

"Once we got the files, it confirmed everything we had argued for
years and years. Cardinal Mahony's fingerprints were all over the
case," Vince Finaldi told the Times.

The documents pertaining to Baker reveal that in December 1986 Mahony
sent him for psychological evaluation in New Mexico after Baker
confessed to the then-archbishop his sexual relationships with two
boys, beginning in the early 1980s. The psychological evaluation
expressed concern with Baker's attitude toward the relationships,
saying they were "quite disturbing to listen to."

"At no point did he indicate any awareness at all that his sexual
involvement with these two boys may have consequences for them nor did
he seem the least bit concerned about any consequences for him except
that he may now have to go through a treatment program which he feels
would be extraneous," read the evaluations, which did recommend
immediate treatment.

Therapy continued for Baker as he re-entered ministry in the
archdiocese. He initially worked with the elderly and retired priests
before serving numerous parishes as an administrator or associate
pastor. Ultimately, the archdiocese placed him on inactive leave in
April 2000 after allegations came forward that he had continued to
molest the same boys.

....Dominican Fr. Tom Doyle told NCR.
He also speculated Mahony himself could eventually face charges.

"I would not be at all surprised if Mahony were, if another grand jury
were convened and Mahony were indicted. Not at all surprised," he
said.

Farther north in the state, new abuse allegations involving a foreign
visiting priest emerged March 12. Fr. Julio Guarin-Sosa, a visiting
priest to the Stockton, Calif., diocese, was arrested on suspicion of
sexual battery and molestation of a minor. The alleged incident
occurred in Yuba City, Calif., part of the Sacramento diocese, and
approximately 80 miles north of his assignment at St. Anne Parish in
Lodi, Calif.

Guarin-Sosa was arraigned March 12 in Sutter County Superior Court and
is being held in the county jail. The Colombian priest had been
assisting at St. Anne for almost a month, while his brother, Fr. Mario
Guarin, a parochial vicar at the parish, was on vacation.

The Stockton diocese released a brief statement shortly after Guarin-
Sosa's arrest.
"As a result of the charges, Father Guarin's permission to exercise
ministry in the Diocese of Stockton has been revoked. His diocese in
Colombia has been informed," the diocese stated.....

Too bad we've exhausted the "two little boys" gags.
