Orlando Rogel Pinuer, a former Chilean priest has been convicted on four counts of sexual abuse cases and faces up to 15 years in prison. The former priest was the administrator for the Hogar de Menores (Young Person’s Home), San Juan Bosco, and a priest at the Immaculate Conception Parish of Cunco in Temuco, Chile.
His crimes were carried out between 2006 – 2011, although the prosecutor said that there was evidence that the 53 year old priest had been abusing young boys for at least 20 years, even though previous charges do not exist.
The priest would use his religious control over his young victims, and would even give them alcohol and spending money in order for them to continue to perform sexual acts on him. All his victims were in boarding school, aged between 14 – 16 years old age.
