Research on the Priests Credibly Accused of Sexual Abuse
Research on credibly accused priest who escaped justice in 1977 after indictment on a felony charge of indecency with a child. Fled to Argentina and later retired comfortably in Croatia.

Everyone has a story, but not every publicly named credibly accused priest has his own home, 12 Charolais cattle and two quarter horses. Rev. Robert Barzyk, a Texas transplant from New York, served 35 years in parishes across Houston before the diocese removed him from ministry. Since the Archdiocese does not provide any dates or contextual information, this research aims to identify where and when he most likely offended during his active years. Perhaps it will aid survivors in identifying their abuser.
Of the 15 Texas Dioceses reporting the names of clergy credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor, 12 had priests who offended in multiple dioceses; credibly accused in one diocese and transferred to another. This report looks at those priests and the data reported and withheld from the diocesan lists.
