	Official: Abuse Victims Receive Threats in Brazil Associated Press April 23, 2010 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gDc-ZGlINGW1q-9loLMQZVnMIBHgD9F90CG80 A Brazilian official says that three former altar boys allegedly sexually abused by a Roman Catholic priest have received threats and are under police protection. An adviser to the Senate pedophilia commission says the three were threatened after they denounced Monsignor Luiz Marques Barbosa for allegedly molesting former altar boys in northeastern Alagoas state. Renato Paoliello said Friday that a priest collaborating with authorities is also receiving police protection after being threatened. Paoliello did not specify what kind of threats the four received. Police are investigating the allegations against Barbosa, who is under house arrest. A video allegedly showing Barbosa abusing one of the altar boys was broadcast on television last month.
