Spanish police have arrested a priest in the south of the country who is said to have drugged and sexually abused several women. The 34-year-old, who also filmed the alleged acts, was arrested in Vélez-Málaga, Andalusia, regarding 30 kilometers east of Málaga, the police said on Monday. So far, five victims have been identified from the seized videos.
However, it cannot be ruled out that more damaged women will be found in the course of the investigation. The investigating judge ordered pre-trial detention. The women identified in the videos and who have since been contacted did not realize that they had become victims of an alleged sexual crime. They also didn’t know regarding the existence of the videos, the police report said.
The investigation was initiated in August when a former roommate of the accused discovered videos and photos on a hard drive showing the crimes the man was accused of. She immediately alerted the authorities.
According to the police, all of the alleged victims belong to the priest’s circle of friends and, according to current findings, were abused by the man on group trips to various regions of Spain. The Episcopal Diocese of Malaga, which is responsible for the priest, expressed its pain in a statement. They said they were working with the judiciary in the case.
