Cuban Yelaine Valles Desten is the first woman in the Dominican Republic to seek childcare support from a priest in court. She told her story to investigative journalist Nuria Piera.
She submitted her claim against priest Arturo Sanchez of Santiago province. The priest has admitted to having a relationship with the woman over an 8-year period. The child is now 5 years old.
Valles wants the priest to acknowledge paternity and provide RD$20,000 in child support. The priest is offering RD$3,500 per month, as reported in El Caribe.
The newspaper says they met in Cuba when she was 18 years old. "It was a human error, mistakes that one makes," said the priest in admitting his guilt. Valles said that she had tried to get the priest to formalize his support for their child when she lived in Cuba. When that was unsuccessful, she moved to the DR where he is currently based.
The Catholic Church has not yet determined his future as a priest.
The show will air this Saturday, 12 December on Channel 9, Color Vision as of 9pm.
