These summer of 1998 Boston TV news reports track the history of now convicted child molesting priest Thomas Teczar. Originally a priest of the Worcester Diocese, he was transferred to the Ft. Worth Diocese after repeated allegations of child abuse in Massachusetts. Dave Lewcon, the Worcester Diocese victim who grew up in Uxbridge, where Teczar was assigned, filed an abuse lawsuit against the diocese. Years after this news report, Lewcon testified against the priest in his criminal trial in Texas. Phil Saviano, the New England SNAP leader, was a victim of another Worcester priest who was also sent to parishes in Texas. Saviano was the person who tipped off the investigative reporter of the Dallas Morning News about Teczar's presence in Texas.
