Defrocked priest who ‘groomed teen and fled to Italy’ had been exorcised himself

A priest from Alabama who allegedly groomed and flew to Italy with a young teenager has previously said he had an exorcism performed on him. Police are looking for Father Alex Crow

Police are searching for a fleeing priest over claims he groomed a teenager while working at the school she attended, and now it has emerged he was once exorcised.

Defrocked Father Alex Crow is alleged to have fled to Italy with an unidentified teen, 18, who was a student at McGill-Toolen High School in Mobile, Alabama. The 30-year-old taught theology classes and also heard confessions during his time at the school where he himself is a graduate.

Crow is believed to have told people he was going to Italy to perform exorcisms and the former priests had a love of the subject of demonology. The former rock musician said on a podcast in 2022 that he was cured of chest pains and migraines after a “minor exorcism” from another priest.

During the 2022 podcast appearance, Crow said: “I grew up in a weird home, both familially, but also a lot of weird stuff happening in the house. You’d hear things moving around or banging in different rooms. I’d see things from time to time as a kid, always assuming I was kind of, hyper, or just looking too much into stuff.”
