"HEARTTHROB PRIEST" Flees to Italy w/ Teen Girl he "GROOMED"

An investigation is underway related to former priest Alex Crow. The 30-year-old and an 18-year-old girl fled to Italy were they are reportedly staying in an Airbnb with no intention of returning to the U.S. The girl's parents have pleaded with her to return, but the girl insists she is fine. She says she and Cross have separate rooms.

Alabama police say they are probing allegations that Crow may have groomed the teen, while she was still in high school. A love letter from Crow to the teen on Valentine’s Day of this year was found. Sheriff Burch said it is possible that more female students are involved. Church officials allegedly ordered the priest not to have contact with another female student who is a friend of the 18-year-old teen.
