His secretary wrote in a letter to The News that the archbishop was satisfied after speaking to the Salesians and Father Klep, who admitted abusing one boy but called the incident an accident.

Well, gee, if it was just an accident... I guess that means they think it could happen to anyone...

**If he goes without a fight or loses an appeal, hell be forced back to Australia, where he is the subject of a nationwide arrest warrant on five indecent assault charges. Samoan officials said they would coordinate Father Klep's return with Australian authorities.**

I guess I missed the Austailia link in the life of this priest when I read their first story. I thought he was on some island in the South Pacific.

** whether the Salesians had a legal obligation under immigration laws to report Father Klep's criminal record when they sponsored his move to Samoa.**

This is going to be a big undertaking for orders to police and report on all the transfers, but it needs to be done. If it can be done about the dioceses of the U. S., then I would think it could be done among the orders.
