A possible sex abuse scandal involving a local priest is unfolding.
Two people have come forward, saying that Father Manuel La Rosa-Lopez sexually abused children while working at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Conroe in the late 1990s to early 2000s.
La Rosa-Lopez is charged with four counts of indecency with a child. He turned himself in to authorities at the Montgomery County Jail on Tuesday.
La Rosa-Lopez currently is assigned to a church in Richmond.
According to court documents, the two alleged victims are not linked, but each came forward recently after seeing news coverage of sex abuse by priests.
