ONTARIO – The man behind black sunglasses occasionally tugged at the rosary around his neck as he spoke to a small group of reporters Tuesday in front of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.

He only identified himself as being in his 30s and a Pomona resident, but the man claimed he also is one of the six known victims who was molested by former Ontario priest Alejandro Castillo just a few months after he turned 18 years old.

“You gotta talk to your kids,” he said. “Give them the benefit of the doubt.”

The man came to the church in support of another victim who filed a lawsuit Monday against the Diocese of San Bernardino and Castillo, claiming sexual abuse by the priest and a cover-up by the diocese.
