EL PASO, Texas – Another victim has come forward saying he was sexually abused by a now-deceased local priest in the 1970s.

According to the law offices of Merritt & Watson, the victim claims to have been sexually abused by Alfonso Madrid during 1974 and 1975 when he was eight years old at Sacred Heart Church.

The victim filed a suit against the El Paso Diocese.

As KFOX14 previously reported, a settlement was reached on July 11 with the New Orleans Province of the Jesuit Order and the El Paso Diocese when a former student and parishioner came forward stating that he was abused by Madrid.
