"Ana Maria Quispe, a 29-year-old Peruvian, is a broken woman. In addition to the sexual assaults she reported in the diocese of Chiclayo (Peru) in 2022, when Robert Francis Prevost was bishop there, she later found herself at the center of a global media storm over accusations that the future Pope had not acted properly. In reality, she was the victim of a smear campaign against Leo XIV, as this newspaper revealed in its investigation of the case."
"she confirms that the canon lawyer who took on her defense, the Peruvian priest Ricardo Coronado, used her and the two other victims who reported abuse: It ended very badly. What we know is that his intention was never to help us. He had his own interests, that much is very clear to us. What were they? We have no idea. Do we want to know? Not really, because it honestly scares us, says Quispe."
EL PAIS launched an investigation into pedophilia in the Spanish Catholic Church in 2018. Ana Maria Quispe, a 29-year-old Peruvian, reported sexual assaults in the Chiclayo diocese in 2022 when Robert Francis Prevost was bishop. She later became entangled in a global media storm accusing the future Pope of inaction, while evidence indicates she was targeted in a smear campaign against Leo XIV. Canon lawyer Ricardo Coronado allegedly used the victims for undisclosed interests and was expelled from the priesthood in December 2024 for sexual crimes. Ultraconservative sectors reportedly used the Chiclayo case to oppose Prevost because of his actions against the Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana.
