Different scandals of sexual abuse involving members of the Catholic clergy have been made public in Costa Rica, as more than ten priests have been formally accused.
[65] However, one of the most recent and most dramatic events due to its media exposure occurred in 2019 when judicial accusations against the priests Mauricio Víquez
[66] and Manuel Guevara
[67][68] led to the
search and seizure of the Episcopal Conference by the
Judicial Investigation Department on 7 March 2019.
[69] Víquez, who was the Episcopal Conference's spokesman and professor at the
University of Costa Rica, was dismissed from the clerical state by the
Holy See and the process for removal of his university tenure was started. He fled in January 2019 and was a fugitive overseas reason for which an
international arrest warrant was issued against him.
[70][71] He was captured in Mexico in August 2019
[72] and condemned in 2022 to 20 years in prison for rape and abuse of an 11-year-old boy.
[73] In the case of Guevara, parish priest of
Santo Domingo de Heredia, was arrested by the authorities.
[74]
Another priest wanted for sexual abuse, Jorge Arturo Morales Salazar, was arrested by the authorities while trying to escape through the Panama border and held on preventive custody.
[75] Other notable cases are Father Enrique Delgado, popular figure due to his TV show
La Hora Santa (The Holy Hour) who was sentenced to prison for rape and sexual abuse against three minors,
[76][77] Father Enrique Vazquez who escaped the country in 1998 apparently with financial help from
San Carlos' bishop Angel Sancasimiro, was captured serving as a priest in Honduras in 2007, but the charges couldn't be pressed due to the age difference of less than 28 years between the victims of 13–16 years and the perpetrator of 20 years,
[65][78][79][80] and Father Minor Calvo, another TV personality with his TV show
An encounter with Christ and as director of the Catholic radio station Radio maria who was found in a car with a teenager in the
La Sabana Park at midnight. Although Calvo was convicted for corruption and
embezzlement he was not convicted for sexual abuse.

Catholic Church sexual abuse cases in El Salvador
In November 2015, in El Salvador's sole non-military Catholic diocese, the Archdiocese of San Salvador, Fr. Jesus Delgado, biographer and personal secretary to Archbishop
Oscar Romero[84][85] was dismissed by the Archdiocese after investigations revealed that he had molested a girl, now 42 years of age, when she was between the ages of 9 and 17.
[85] Due to the statute of limitations, Delgado could not face criminal charges.
[86] In December 2016, a canonical court convicted Delgado and two other El Salvador priests, Francisco Galvez and Antonio Molina, of committing acts of sex abuse between the years 1980 and 2000 and
laicized them from the priesthood.
[84][87][88][86]
In November 2019, the Archdiocese acknowledged sex abuse committed by Fr. Leopoldo Sosa Tolentino in 1994 and issued a public apology to his victim.
[84] Tolentino was suspended from ministry and began the
canonical trial process.
[89] Another El Salvador priest, José Adonay Chicas Campos, was laicized in 2019 after pleading guilty to sex abuse in a criminal trial at the Vatican and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Catholic Church sexual abuse cases in Canada
In the late 1980s, allegations were made of physical and sexual abuse committed by members of the
Christian Brothers, who operated the
Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John's,
Newfoundland. The government, police, and church had colluded in an attempt to cover up the allegations, but in December 1989 they were reported in the
St. John's Sunday Express. Eventually more than 300 former pupils came forward with allegations of physical and sexual abuse at the orphanage.
[91] The religious order that ran the orphanage filed for
bankruptcy in the face of numerous civil lawsuits seeking damages.
[92] Since the Mount Cashel scandal, a number of priests across Canada have been accused of sexual abuse.
In August 2005, Father Charles Henry Sylvestre of
Belle River, Ontario, pleaded guilty to 47 counts of sexual abuse of females, aged between nine and fourteen years old, between 1952 and 1989.
[93] Sylvestre was given a sentence in October 2006 of three years, and died 22 January 2007 after three months in prison.
