Depends which country you are in and what their law is. Or are you saying specific accused of specific crimes
 
As much as I have my own concerns about the crisis, I always come away from these threads very glad that people who do not live in USA and operate under a very different set of legal principles do not have a say in how we set up our laws, about anything.

This is and should be a matter for the criminal courts and not the Church to investigate. The church responds after the person has been found guilty or not. And that is how the Canons are being rewritten to reflect this.

It would be grossly negligent for the church to fail to investigate any report of grave matter being committed by clergy. In fact, the failure to adequately investigate and act is as big of a scandal as the violations themselves.
 
Sadly, because of a case I am familiar with, I am not sure I would trust the priest’s superior.

There is never a need to trust him. If one has information, then they are free, and should report what they know to the police.
