A NSW detective claimed a Catholic priest had a possible pedophile connection to a convicted cleric in an internal police report despite having no evidence the first priest was involved in any criminal activity, an inquiry has heard.

Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox yesterday told the NSW special commission of inquiry he sent the intelligence report to the state Sex Crimes Squad in 2006, based largely on a conversation he had with the priest three years earlier.
