Yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 17 July, a court in Monsenor Nouel province sentenced the priest Alberto Zacarias Cordero, aged 40, to three months on remand in Moca jail. He is accused of sexually molesting a 15 year old girl.

The judge was Rosa Maria Almonte, the public prosecutor was Jose Luis Farias Moquea and the girl was represented by Andres Estrella Nunez. The priest was represented by Frank Moreta.

The grandparent of the child, Francisco Sanchez Bueno said during an interview on El Gobierno de la Manana radio program that not for all the wealth of the Vatican would the family strike a deal with the priest. He said that on several occasions the priest had called to reach an extra-judicial agreement with the family. The 15-year old child lives with her grandparents.

As reported in Hoy, the grandparent said he placed the claim after the girl told a cousin that the priest had taken her to intimacy at several motels. The cousin alerted the grandparents.
