I wonder if his church and congregation knew about it and covered it up. Perhaps they were looking to transfer him to a new church in Mexico. It would explain his trip there.
The entire community including the police and the press knew about his prior offenses and yet the community allowed him to function as a pastor and have access to children. So it wasn’t just his supervisor who made an errorr, it was the entire congregation, law enforcement, and the press and others who approved.
