Ex-priest is charged in child sex case

A former Roman Catholic priest, whose whereabouts is unknown, has been charged with sexually abusing a boy when he was a parish priest in recent years in St. Louis, police said Thursday.

Juan Duran, 44, was named Wednesday in an at-large warrant with statutory sodomy in the first degree.

Jim Orso, spokesman for the archdiocese, said he knew little about Duran, except that he was ordained in 1996 and was assigned in Memphis before St. Louis.

The article states that Duran may now be living in Bolivia. He was assigned to St. Francis de Sales Parish at the time of the allegations.
