Opus Dei Suspends El Prado Teacher Over Alleged Abuse of Three Minors in Madrid

Opus Dei says its child-protection delegate filed a complaint with juvenile prosecutors following reports from a linked youth association.

Overview

  • The alleged incidents date to about two years ago during activities run by the Amura youth association near the school, including a summer camp.
  • Parents alerted Amura on March 9, its board identified two additional affected minors, and on March 13 the association sent its findings to judicial authorities.
  • Opus Dei reports the accused, a member of the prelature, was immediately removed from any contact with minors and educational duties after the complaint was filed on March 13.
  • Colegio El Prado and Amura have provisionally suspended the staffer, informed families, and state the reported conduct occurred outside school-organized programs.
  • Police family and child-protection units (UFAM) say they have not received a referral from the juvenile prosecutor to begin a formal investigation.
