A Roman Catholic priest who vanished in 1992 amid allegations of child abuse was extradited to the U.S. from Morocco this week to face federal charges. If convicted of the aggravated sexual abuse charges, Perrault could face lifetime imprisonment. The former priest served in New Mexico under the Archdiocese of Santa Fe from 1973 to 1992. Before he worked in the Santa Fe archdiocese, Perrault spent time at a treatment center for pedophile priests in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The sexual abuse charges filed against Perrault this week hinge on one victim’s claims.
