"Peruvian journalists Paola Ugaz and Pedro Salinas, who investigated sexual abuse in the Church, denounced this Friday [Nov. 8] at a press conference in Lima that they have been persecuted – through media and the courts – since 2018 by the Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana, the ultraconservative religious organization in Peru that in recent years has been targeted with numerous complaints of pedophilia, sexual abuse and abuse of power.
'It has been a line of persecution aimed at opening judicial proceedings, lawsuits, investigations and now criminal proceedings against Salinas and Ugaz,' said Carlos Rivera, lawyer for both. It comes after the Peruvian Prosecutor's Office accused Salinas of aggravated collusion for having contracted with the State in 2017."
