In Mexico’s northern state of San Luis Potosi, a catholic priest is on the run following nineteen separate accusations of sexually assaulting minors.
Eduardo Cordova, priest and legal counsel for the church, has not been seen since Friday when authorities first sought to arrest him. Residents of San Luis have been horrified by the priest’s actions, and many have little faith in authorities to bring the criminal priest to justice. It was while working here, in this church, in the El Paseo district of the state capital, that local activists claim Eduardo Cordova sexually abused over one hundred minors. Cordova’s replacement in the church, Margarito Sanchez, says the community has been badly shaken by the revelations. Activist groups in the region claim to have known of Cordova’s actions since as far back as 2004. As the catholic priest Eduardo Cordova's victims make themselves known to authorities, the suspended clergyman remains on the run. Both authorities and the community will be on the lookout to catch the sexual predator before he commits further crime.
