Ever heard of Paul Schaefer? The other one...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4340591.stm

Mr Schaefer, who is in his 80s, has also been denounced by former followers and by human rights campaigners.

For them, his capture signals the end to decades of impunity for what they allege are his strange and terrible crimes.

Paul Schaefer was a medic in Hitler's army during World War II. After the war, he set up an evangelical ministry and a youth home, purportedly to care for war orphans.

But he was charged with sexually abusing two boys - and in 1961 he fled to Chile, reportedly accompanied by some 70 followers...

BIZARRO case I saw last night on History Channel. Even I had never heard of this guy.
