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.
