Abuse charge against priest rolls Kenya
In Kenya, three young men and a boy accused Italian priest Renato Kizito Sesana of years of sexual molestation at a Nairobi shelter. The church pledged an investigation, but ten months later no action had been taken. Police found no evidence and Sesana denies the allegations. He runs shelters near Nairobi and claims accusers may be bribed to seize assets worth up to $5.3 million.
