Child incest pamphlets found in second search of Mohler property By
DONALD BRADLEY The Kansas City Star 11/24/09 A second police search of
the Independence property of Burrell Mohler Sr., charged with an array
of sexual offenses against some of his grandchildren, turned up child
incest pamphlets. Also seized were more adult movies, including a
pornographic DVD about having sex with "Grandma & Grandpa," according
to new documents released today. Other items listed on search warrant
affidavits include what authorities are calling "incest porn" as well
as homemade videotapes, a Focus on the Family film series, and a Book
of Mormon Stories for Children. That and other Mormon literature taken
from a house and a shed indicate that some of the materials could
belong to Mohler's oldest son, Burrell "Ed" Mohler Jr., who also has
lived in Independence. While the senior Mohler and most of his sons
belonged to the Community of Christ Church, Ed Mohler, 53, joined the
Mormon church in 1992 but was excommunicated in 2007 for personal
conduct unrelated to child abuse. Mohler, 77, is in jail in Lexington,
Mo., along with his four sons and a brother from Florida. Authorities
say the men carried out years of sexual abuse on children as young as
5 in the extended family. Darrel Mohler is being held in Florida. In
all, the Mohler men face 42 charges. The search of Mohler's home in
the 1300 block of Dodgion Street was conducted Friday by the Jackson
County Sheriff's Office. Authorities believe some of the alleged
assaults against the Mohler children in past decades were photographed
or taped. The first search of Mohler's home turned up incest
magazines, computers, tapes and recording equipment. Similarly, a
search of a Columbia, Mo., house belonging to his son Jared Mohler,
48, also turned up computers, tapes and video equipment.

Report damns Irish Catholic Church for covering up ‘evil' sex abuse
DUBLIN By Agence France-Presse Thursday, November 26th, 2009 — The
Catholic Church in Ireland covered up widespread allegations of "evil"
child sex abuse by priests for decades, according to a damning report
released on Thursday. Four archbishops routinely protected abusers and
failed to inform police of the allegations, according to a three-year
investigation into the Dublin Archdiocese, the country's largest.
Responding to the report -- the latest to reveal the scale of Catholic
sex abuse -- the government immediately apologised for failing to
protect children in Church care, and vowed in a statement that "this
can never happen again". "Whatever the historical and societal reasons
for this, the government, on behalf of the state, apologises, without
reservation or equivocation, for failures by the agencies of the state
in dealing with this issue," it said. The judicial probe discovered
that the archbishops did not report abuse to police until the 1990s as
part of a culture of secrecy and an over-riding wish to avoid damaging
the reputation of the Church....The 750-page landmark report by judge
Yvonne Murphy is damning in its criticism of failures to protect
vulnerable children. The probe examined complaints of abuse of over
320 children involving a representative sample of 46 priests in the
Dublin Archdiocese between 1975 and 2004. One priest admitted to
sexually abusing over 100 children, while another accepted that he had
abused on a fortnightly basis over 25 years.
