Diocese of Osma-Soria removes priest from Serón de Nágima

The Diocese of Osma-Soria has removed a diocesan priest from his duties in Serón de Nágima following allegations involving a minor. The diocese implemented precautionary measures that prohibit the priest from performing any ministry or activity in the parish and forbid him from having any direct or indirect contact or communication with the minor.

The diocese opened a canonical preliminary investigation and sent the proceedings to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. According to the Diocese of Osma-Soria, the minor's family filed a complaint with the Civil Guard on August 17, 2026.

Religión Digital reported that the allegations involve sexual harassment, claiming the cleric asked a girl to show him her breasts and sent inappropriate text messages to her mobile phone. The outlet also noted that the priest was acquitted of abuse allegations a decade ago.
