    A Catholic priest who fled the United States to Italy with a schoolgirl he\u2019d spent months grooming has married her. <\/p>\n

    Alex Crow, 30, did a runner to Rome from Alabama back in July, leading to a massive manhunt. Cops investigating the couple\u2019s disappearance found a bunch of letters that they\u2019d written to each other. <\/p>\n

    They\u2019ve since returned to the US \u2013 and now they\u2019ve got hitched, according to a marriage certificate filed on Monday.<\/p>\n

    When the pair returned to America, the archdiocese of Mobile said it was \u201crelieved\u201d. In a statement, it said: \u201cWhile Crow\u2019s behaviour has been scandalous, the archdiocese does not have any information to indicate that Crow has committed any crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    And investigators said they wouldn\u2019t be pressing charges over his sordid actions after the woman \u2013 who appears to have turned 18 in July \u2013 attended a meeting accompanied by her lawyer and declined to answer any questions.<\/p>\n

    Archbishop Thomas J Rodi announced when Crow left that he\u2019d suspended the priest and forbidden him from acting, dressing or presenting himself as a priest.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Following the latest twist in the story, a fresh statement from the archdiocese said: \u201cThe recent news of Crow's civil marriage only confirms the Archbishop's judgment. Archbishop Rodi anticipates that the Vatican will eventually laicise Alex Crow.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The woman is a recent graduate of McGill-Toolen High School. Crow was not an employee there but sometimes visited.<\/p>\n

    The letters unearthed by the detectives investigating their disappearance included aaaa Valentine's Day love note to the girl from Crow. He wrote: \u201cYou are mine \u2013 no one else\u2019s, and I will always be a father to you until I die.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    He added: \u201cI\u2019m sorry I cannot give you a \u2018normal\u2019 Valentine\u2019s Day this year. I wanted to do nothing more than buy you flowers but for fear of scandal I couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
