The pope’s overseer of abuse cases, Cardinal William Levada, did not restrict the California priest after learning in 1995 that he molested a 13 year old. Levada testified he trusted the priest would not re offend and did not contact police. The priest remained at St Mary’s Cathedral, San Francisco for two more years before removal in 2002 amid a shift to zero tolerance.
