A paedophile Irish ex-priest who raped and abused at least 25 children in California, has reportedly been arrested on the Algarve.

Portuguese police sources confirmed on Thursday Oliver O’Grady, 74, the subject of a 2006 documentary film called Deliver Us from Evil, was the man they had arrested.

O’Grady is understood to have been held on a European Arrest Warrant by Portuguese police.

In January 2012 O’Grady was jailed for three years for possession of large amounts of child pornography.

The images were discovered after the defrocked priest left his laptop on an Aer Lingus flight.
