Former students of a Catholic school in Cochabamba, central Bolivia, are suing the Society of Jesus over sexual abuse by a Spanish priest who died in 2009 following decades of service in the South American country, a lawyer for the victims announces, after confessions found in Pedrajas's diary confirmed that senior clergy had known about his crimes and kept quiet. Prosecutors opened an investigation following a report by the Spanish daily El Pais in April about the late Spanish priest Alfonso Pedrajas, whose diary indicated that he had abused more than 80 minors in Bolivia, where he had lived since the early 1970s.
