QUEBEC — A retired judge mandated by the Vatican to investigate sexual misconduct allegations against a Quebec cardinal says that despite the complainant refusing to collaborate with the probe, he could find no evidence tying the church leader to the

alleged crimes.

“The elements gathered during the investigation make it implausible that the events associated with the cardinal occurred," Denis told a news conference in Quebec City. The archbishop has denied the allegations, which have not been tested in court, and described the claim as"unfounded." “I am unable to say whether or not the alleged act took place," Denis said."I'm even unable to identify a place, an event, a precise date or any other circumstance. The plaintiff's refusal to co-operate in any way with my investigation has left me at a loss."
