The parents discovered the sketches showing how their child was sexually molested. The drawings depict a man looming over an obviously terrified child.

The girl was distraught and refused to attend the priest's English classes any more. Puzzled, her parents took her to a child psychologist.

The psychologist suspected abuse and asked her parents to go through her bedroom to search for clues.

The girl's father confronted the priest, Father Joao da Silva a 54 year old man who confessed to abusing the child.
