A French judge has opened a preliminary
investigation into "failure to report a crime" after the alleged victims
of a paedophile priest said top Catholic officials covered up for him,
judicial sources said Friday.
The victims alleged that senior figures in the diocese of Lyon, in eastern France, including Archbishop Philippe Barbarin failed to report the priest, who has been charged with sexually abusing minors between 1986 and 1991, to police.
