'We know that pedophiles sometimes threaten their victims to keep them quiet'. 'I think he's cooked his goose now', Sheriff Letsinger said of Fiala. The Department of Public Safety and its Texas Ranger Division then got involved and sent an undercover agent to speak to Fiala who caught their conversation on audio and videotape. He apparently told authorities that they should 'be looking at this guy' and later said Fiala offered him $5,000 to kil the teenager. Sheriff Letsinger said he got a call on November 11 from a man claiming to be a neighbour of Fiala stating that the former priest was talking about killing a young man. Sheriff Don Letsinger of Edwards County, where the Sacred Heart church is located, said, 'This guy is an evil man'. Stripped: John Fiala, pictured here in his collar, was removed from active ministry in 2008 In early 2008 when the boy was 16, Fiala 'gained access to him and began to sexually abuse him once or twice a month, including on the churches ground' during times that he was supposed to have been teaching the boy.įiala was administrator of Sacred Heart of Mary in Rocksprings Texas when the alleged abuse took place.Īfter struggling with abuse over nearly two years, the teen told a school counsellor who called the authorities. The youth met Fiala in 2007 when Mr Rhodes said the priest started 'grooming him' by buying him gifts including a computer and a car. These threats were repeated in daily text messages with Fiala even threatening to kill himself, telling the boy they would 'go to heaven together'. Mr Rhodes claims that on different occasions Fiala not only threatened to harm the teen but also to hurt his girlfriend and his family if he ever told anyone what happened. 'My client wasn't happy that Fiala was trying to recruit someone to kill him, but he's happy Fiala is in jail now.' Groomed: Part of the alleged abuse is reported to have taken place at Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Rocksprings, Texasįiala had threatened him with physical violence and threatened to kill him before, and he was very afraid of that,' the teen's attorney Tom Rhodes said. The teen is said to be relieved his alleged abuser is now behind bars and vindicated in his concerns of being harmed. When former San Antonio Archbiship Jose Gomez learned of the police investigation into Fiala's actions, he was removed from active ministry in October 2008. The Omaha, Nebraska archdiocese has since revealed that in 2002 a minor came forward to report a sexual assault by Fiala in the mid-1980s, according to the Express-News.
The lawsuit also claims archdioceses covered up Fiala's record of abuse. The teen alleges that the abuse took place during private catechism classes and in a hotel room. In September the priest was arrested and indicted on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of aggravated sexual assault by threat. The boy had filed a lawsuit in April alleging he was sexually assaulted by Fiala in 20. Fiala was arrested at his suburban Dallas home after meeting with an undercover officer to arrange for the teen's death.Īgency spokesman Tom Vinger told the San Antonio Express-News that an informant expressed to sheriff's officials that Fiala offered him $5,000 to kill the teen.
