On Monday, the Diocese of Las Cruces released the names of thirteen more credibly accused former priests, including one who pled guilty to sexually assaulting a child prior to his assignment in Las Cruces.
“These priests did not abuse here while they were serving in the Diocese of Las Cruces,” said Bishop Gerald Kicanas. “However, they have been listed on the credible lists of other dioceses.”
Father Lucas Galvan was previously convicted of a sexual crime in Colorado, as listed below. According to the Denver Post, Galvan admitted to sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl in 1990 and got two years of probation.
A spokesman for the Diocese told ABC-7 that Galvan – a convicted pedophile – served at St. Genevieve in 1993.
