A former student at Irabia School in Pamplona has reported that a priest at Opus Dei sexually assaulted her during her adolescence
In the last few hours, it has been reported that Pablo Merino , a 44-year-old Navarro, had been sexually abused at an Opus Dei school in Pamplona when he was a teenager. In fact, the attacks occurred between the ages of 13 and 15, and although his family had filed a complaint against a priest at that school, no action had been taken against him at that time, except for a change of centre.
Opus Dei, for its part, has acknowledged the facts and clarified that there were two similar cases in San Sebastián and Madrid, the first involving a minor and the second involving a 45-year-old woman, as well as the prohibition of being with young people to the priest of the Irabia school in Pamplona.
Merino informed Jesus Zudaire, president of the Church's Association of Victims of Sexual Abuse, of the attacks, from which they went to a court in Pamplona, where, according to the complaint, the aggressor was the priest Jacinto Lázaro.
For Zudaire, these cases are serious, and it's also serious that Opus kept them hidden for three decades.
Currently, lives in Zaragoza under the control of Opus Dei.
