Sexual abuse allegations in Spanish dioceses
Overview
Recent reports indicate separate investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct involving priests within Spanish dioceses.
In the Diocese of Zamora, Bishop Fernando Valera initiated a canonical procedure following accusations of sexual abuse involving minors. The case was submitted to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in Vatican City, which ordered a formal procedure to clarify facts. The accused priest has been suspended from public ministry and removed from parish duties as a preventive measure.
In the Diocese of Osma-Soria, a 67-year-old priest was suspended from the parish of Serón de Nágima following allegations involving a minor. After a preliminary canonical investigation, the findings were forwarded to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Concurrently, the minor’s family filed a complaint with the Guardia Civil, leading the Almazán Court to open preliminary proceedings regarding alleged sexual harassment in a professional environment.
