The trial of Peter Mukekhe Wafula, a former priest accused of sexual abuse of a minor, began today with opening statements and testimonies from several witnesses.
Wafula served in Hereford, Friona and Bovina before he was removed from the ministry in 2018.
The courtroom heard from several witnesses today, including some priests who work at the churches Wafula provided ministry to.
The first witness, Father Nestor Lara who works at San Jose Church in Hereford, spoke about a conversation he witnessed between Father Ramon Molina Mora, Wafula and the child’s family.
He described Able De La Cruz Jr., the child involved in the case, as scared and crying during the conversation.
