Died: 2/22/2012
Diocese: Prelature of Caravelí, Peru

Revilla served a four-year prison sentence for raping two nine-year-old girls in Caravelí and Puquio in the 1960s. Revilla attacked the children when they came to the parish's storeroom to get food for their families. Despite his conviction, Revilla remained a priest until his death in 2012. In his 2026 book, ¿CUEVA DE ABUSADORES O IGLESIA SEGURA?: Los abusos sexuales contra menores en la iglesia peruana y su futura prevención, former Caravelí bishop Reinaldo Nann reported that he had discovered Revilla's conviction through news clippings he found in the prelature archives. Moreover, Nann said, he himself had spoken directly to one of Revilla's victims and to the sister of another victim.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
