The criminal complaint affidavit against a former Catholic Priest accused of sexually assaulting an underage parishioner for seven years was released to KTSM on Wednesday.
Miguel Luna, 68, is charged with one count of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child. According to court documents, the alleged victim was interviewed by El Paso Police on October 20, 2017 in reference to the allegations against Father Luna.
The victim, now 36, served as an altar-server at local churches in El Paso when she met Luna. She told investigators that Luna began kissing and sexually abusing her at age 8 during confessions.
She recalled Luna telling her “remember this confession, so whatever happens in here stays in here,” according to court documents.
The affidavit goes on to say that when the girl turned 12, Luna’s sexual abuse escalated. The victim in the case reported to police that the abuse continued until she turned 17.
