A Cape Cod priest fled to his native Brazil after being accused of sexually assaulting a child in Connecticut, church officials said yesterday.
The Rev. Jose Afonso Lima, 46, of South Yarmouth was part of a mission of priests based in Bridgeport, Conn., who came to the United States to minister to Brazilians living in this country. He is a US citizen who has worked on Cape Cod since 1998.
