Authorities say that they are investigating at least 17 Puerto Rico priests for alleged child sex crimes. We hope anyone who has suffered child sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Puerto Rico finds the courage to speak up.

The now defrocked priest, Edwin Mercado Viera, plead guilty to molesting a 13 year old altar boy. We are grateful to the brave victim who spoke up and to the brave victims of the other 17 priests being investigated in Puerto Rico.
