In this newscast: Has Juneau’s high school athlete drug testing policy worked? an investigative reporter uncovers mistakes and omissions in lists of Catholic clergy accused of sexual abuse who served in Alaska, and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson host a medal ceremony for an Army soldier killed in action in Afghanistan. 

These priests abused in Native villages for years. They retired on Gonzaga’s campus.

Behind his Nome radio station’s closed doors, Father James Poole was a serial sexual predator. He abused at least 20 women and girls, according to court documents. But the last chapter in his story reveals a new twist in the Catholic abuse scandal: Poole was sent to live out his retirement years on Gonzaga University’s campus in Spokane, Washington.
