Charges shock friar's cousin
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada -
A local family is shocked after learning an ex-Alberta Catholic friar who said he was too ill to travel here for his mom's funeral is in fact an accused pedophile hiding in the U.S. Now, Donette Luchansky - a distant cousin of the accused - says the family will do everything in its power to bring him back to Canada to face justice.
Gerald Chumik, an ex-Alberta Catholic friar, was charged in 1990 with two child sex offences in Newfoundland dating from the 1970s. Federal authorities say he'll be arrested if he ever steps foot again on Canadian soil.
Right now, the 69-year-old is holed up in a Franciscan mission in Santa Barbara, California. Suffering from cancer and diabetes, most of his day is spent in the mission's infirmary.
Since the charges were laid 14 years ago, the church has had him undergoing sex offender treatment.
