Italian police have arrested a 40 year-old priest for allegedly attempting to sexually abuse a 10 year-old girl. The incident took place in December 2009 when the priest, known only as David T, went to the family home and found the young girl alone. The priest, who is of Indian origin, was arrested upon his return from a trip to India. The arrest will give other victims some hope that molesters will eventually be brought to justice. Recently the Vatican has been accused of covering-up the abuses, making it difficult to investigate the crimes. Al Jazeera spoke to one victim who decided to gather his own proof, and find justice at last. Claudio Lavanga reports
