In August 17, 2007 interposed a demand FDS/FDS-6T1/00415/07-08 in against of the clergyman by violation and sexual abuse, the one which was rejected because “there was not public prosecutor work relevant to the evidence".

Nevertheless Romero and his attorney, David Peña, they refer that parishioners them have confirmed that Lopez, of 65 years-old, yes officiates and is displaced by various shrines and funerary house of the sixth vicariate, accomplishing homilies, clergymen under the protection of priests. In 1954, the priest, who had established a narrow loop with the parents of the claimant, was offered to "to educate him and to form him".

Nothing happened but until put demands him. While the violating priest was continuing being performed as acting of that vicariate, and was “first hand" of Guerrero.

After the terrible experience, for Romero "God is not in the Church" but if the devil directing it in the churches, and in spite what is explicit of the photographs the priest was not called to declare, because there was not public prosecutor works to that evidence. He assures that also it denounced because was witness of the fact that other acolyte fell in the claws of the priest.
