Overview
- Police and district security detained Agüero Vidal at Nuestra Señora de la Alegría after confrontations between parishioners outside the church.
- The mother of a young woman told local media the priest kept his hand on her daughter’s leg during confession, and other testimonies suggest a pattern.
- Some individuals have filed formal complaints and undergone medical examinations, while others have avoided public statements out of fear.
- Witness accounts indicate the priest held confessions on two closely placed chairs at the back of the temple rather than in a traditional confessional.
- Agüero Vidal previously faced protests at San Ricardo parish in 2023 before being transferred to San Borja, and the Lima Archdiocese has not issued an official response.
