Accusations have been made about his handling of sexual abuse cases during his time as Bishop of Chiclayo. Three Peruvian women are among those who went public with claims that - as bishop - he failed to investigate and punish a priest accused of sexually abusing them, with claims dating back to 2007.They said that when they raised their allegations with the diocese in 2022, no substantial or serious inquiry was opened.
Church officials denied this and said an investigation was opened, but was closed in 2023 by the ecclesiastical district and the Vatican after a local prosecutor said there was not enough evidence to support the civil claim.
An investigation by the prosecutor was reopened after media reports about the case and the BBC understands it is ongoing.A trial date is yet to be set.
