STOCKTON, Calif., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Alleged sexual-abuse victims are calling on the Catholic Church to find a former California priest who admits in a new movie he molested children.

Oliver O'Grady was deported to Ireland five years ago, but reportedly has left the country amid outrage over the documentary "Deliver Us from Evil." In the film, O'Grady freely admits being "overly affectionate" with young parishioners and apologizes for having "offended" them.

In the 1970s and '80s, while serving as a parish priest in several central California towns, O'Grady reportedly molested children over and over again, both boys and girls, including, it is reported, a 9-month-old.

In 1993, O'Grady pleaded guilty to four counts of lewd and lascivious acts with minors, the Sacramento Bee reports. He served seven years in prison and was deported to his native Ireland upon his release.

The church has lambasted the documentary as imbalanced.
