Pope sends Vatican official to Bolivia as abuse allegations escalate

Pope Francis has sent Monsignor Jordi Bertomeu, a top investigator of sex crimes to Bolivia amid an escalating pedophilia scandal among priests.
Bertomeu's visit had been planned to analyze "the progress made in the field of the culture of prevention" promoted by the Vatican, but not related to the recent sex abuse allegations.
The visit comes after Spanish Jesuit Alfonso Pedrajas was publicly accused of allegedly abusing about 85 minors in Catholic boarding schools in Bolivia in the 1970s and 1980s.
