Stockton, Calif. -- Sex abuse victims are demanding action from the Catholic church following the release of a documentary on a convicted Northern California priest.

Rev. Oliver O'Grady was imprisoned and later deported to Ireland, but he's now missing and it's believed he may be headed to Canada.

O'Grady allegedly molested 25 children, but the number could be as high as 50. Some of his victims have won multimillion-dollar settlements against the church, but most said they just carry the emotional scars.

On Tuesday, members of SNAP -- the Survival Network of those Abused by Priests -- left a letter for Stockton Bishop Stephen Blaire to help with information that could lead to finding O'Grady.

O'Grady was deported to Ireland in 2001 and serving seven years in prison for molesting two boys.

Recently, O'Grady appeared in the film Deliver Us From Evil, in which he talked about still getting sexually aroused by children.

"Not knowing where he is horrible. Thinking of him coming back here, thinking of the people who defend him to this day, saddens me," O'Grady victim Nancy Sloan said.

The diocese is still being sued by O'Grady's victims.
