Catholic officials say that a Chilean bishop is innocent of child sexual abuse. We are skeptical of this claim and hope anyone with additional information will come forward immediately.

Bishop Cristian Contreras Molina of San Felipe Chile was accused of sexually abusing minors earlier this year. Both the Vatican and the district attorney concluded their investigations into those allegations.

It takes a great deal of courage to report child sexual crimes and they are rarely made lightly.

We hope anyone who saw, suspects, or suffered child sexual abuse by any Chilean Catholic official will immediately call secular law enforcement. It is never too late to report what you know and doing so will help keep other children safe.
