Iván Merino Pedial, 35, parish priest of the María Inmaculada church in Maracaibo, was discovered and detained by the police at the time when he was performing oral sex on a minor in his vehicle parked on a street in Maracaibo. "The girl would have said that the man abused her for three years.
The Venezuelan clergy announced that the priest was excommunicated from the church and he could not dedicate himself to religious life anywhere in the world.
At the presentation hearing, the 35 ° Zulia Prosecutor's Office charged the man with the crime of continued sexual abuse. Iván Merino Padial, priest of the María Inmaculada church, located in the La California sector, north of Maracaibo confessed in interrogation with the Zulia state police authorities to have committed lascivious acts with a minor of 12 years of age.
Consequently, the Court 1 ° Control of violence against women evaluated the elements of conviction exposed by the fiscal representation and dictated the measure of deprivation of liberty. The priest will remain confined in the police coordination center of the state security agency. The mother of the minor went to the command and did not want, at first, to denounce the event so as not to make a "scandal", according to the officers. It was also known that, apparently, the man offered euros to the child so that she would be allowed to abuse, however, the child has not declared about it.
The neighbors also gave their version of the facts, assuring that the priest visited the girl's house frequently and was a friend of her mother. They had him as part of the family, apparently without knowing the intentions.
"We became attached and one thing led to the other ... and that happened", were the words of Merino Padial, to whom the police asked what were the reasons for carrying out such actions with a minor.
We are before a society that applauds the sexualization of children, and unfortunately they are cannon fodder for these aberrados.
Some priests, hide under their cassocks and threaten the children with going to hell if they do not agree to their actions and the funny thing is that they are the ones who will rot in the flames of hell.
It is the most unusual, that these men who are called priests commit these shameful acts, it is inconceivable that the church continue to form priests who do not do it for surrender to the Lord, but on a whim, I do not get a reason to explain these atrocities, they must expel him of the church and jail for child abuse.
I hope that the authorities do not become deaf and dumb before this atrocious crime. It is very shameful that an adult and more a religious, that inspires confidence and causes closeness, I ended up doing things like this, so natural it seems to live the moment without worry, at first it seems normal until not only casual sex, but even defame, lie , to stay with what another person, and of course that to the heat of the passions and the disturbed needs and without control, aberrant acts are committed, both, but it depends on the place that we occupy in the circle of predators, it will be worse and worse . Anyone is exposed.
Older men know how to convince a teenager, use many tricks to do with them as they please and perhaps gave him money (As has been said) and gifts and was deceived. An education you give in your home and another receive in the street and is always the worst, it is best to make friends with their children to guide them, without criticizing or scolding, because that is where you lose communication, you must learn to listen , so they will know where their children are.
