Spain - Feb 17

A court in Granada has decided to drop charges against nine out of ten Catholic priests, and two non-affiliated suspects, accused of sexually abusing an altar boy.  According to the court, the cries fell within the statute of limitations.  The alleged abused is said to have taken place between 2004 and 2007.  According to the main accuser's lawyer, however, his client had been unable to report the crime until he had moved out of Granada.
