Una de las menores que habría sido abusada por Flores fue Maryory Melisa Almendárez, quien falleció a finales de 2017 a causa de un cáncer de mama, denunció su hermana, Isis Almendárez.

Según Isis Almendárez, su hermana, quien sabía que estaba próxima a morir, le confesó a pocos días de su deceso que Flores abusó de ella cuando tenía ocho años, en la comunidad de El Maguelar, departamento oriental de El Paraíso.

Añadió que Flores era persona de confianza en su familia y que con frecuencia les visitaba, pero que luego su hermana, cuando estaba próxima a celebrar la primera comunión, comenzó a rechazar al sacerdote, sin explicar razones.
