A priest at Shrine of the Sacred Heart parish in Columbia Heights was arrested Wednesday and charged in connection with allegations that he sexually abused a teenage girl in 2015, when she was 13 years old.

The Archdiocese of Washington released a statement confirming that they had known about the allegations of abuse since October 26, and had immediately suspended Father Urbano Vazquez from ministry. On October 28, a member of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin—which oversees the Sacred Heart parish, and is allowed by the Archdiocese of Washington to operate in its church—reported the allegations to police. Vazquez was not arrested until November 7. He was charged with second degree child sexual abuse.

A teenage girl, who was a member of the parish, alleges that Vazquez put his hand down the front of her shirt and onto her bare breast on two separate occasions, according to an incident report from the Metropolitan Police Department. The abuse allegedly occurred inside the church in May 2015.

The alleged abuse was reported to parish leadership shortly after it happened in 2015, according to court documents obtained by the Washington Post. Those documents include two additional accusers, as well, the Post reports, though Vazquez has not yet been charged with other counts. One of the other accusers says she was 16 when Vazquez unexpectedly kissed her on the mouth. Her mother reportedly walked in and saw the kiss, according to the Post, and confronted Vazquez, who apologized. The girl’s mother reported the kiss to the parish in September 2015 and January 2016, according to court documents. The third accuser says she was 15 when the priest placed his hand on her thigh and rubbed her leg during confession. These two girls also say the abuse happened in May 2015.

Vazquez has been a priest at Sacred Heart since 2014, according to the statement from the Archdiocese. “Since the initial claim to police, additional allegations against Father Vazquez were reported,” the statement says.

After the allegations came to light, the Archdiocese removed Father Moises Villalta from his position as priest at Sacred Heart, after determining that he “failed to follow appropriate protocols related to reporting allegations of abuse to civil authorities and the Archdiocese of Washington.” The Archdiocese also placed the parish’s child protection coordinator on administrative leave, according to the statement.

According to court documents, Villalta told police that the first victim’s mother approached him in a hallway and told him about the alleged abuse in 2015, the Post reports. He says the girl’s mother did not want him to report anything to the church, but he told the child protection coordinator about the allegation. He says he does not know if any report was ever made.

Sonia Marlene Aquino, the child protection coordinator, told the Washington Post that she reported the allegations to the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin “immediately” after it happened, and that “I didn’t do anything to cover anyone, so my conscience is in peace.”

These allegations come shortly after D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine announced he has begun investigating the Washington Archdiocese for any institutional coverup of sexual abuse. In October, the church released the names of 31 clergymen “credibly accused” of sexual abuse from 1948 to 1996. This is the first credible accusation of sexual abuse by a D.C. priest since 1996, according to the Archdiocese.

This story has been updated with additional information from court documents obtained by the Washington Post, and to clarify that the abuse of one victim occurred in May 2015, not June.
