The public prosecution service in Constanza has decided to provisionally archive the complaints against priest Juan Manuel Mota de Jesus (Father Johnny), after a yearlong investigation failed to provide evidence that he had sexually abused underage girls.
Several months ago a court in Bonao also dismissed charges against another priest, Alberto Zacarias Cordero Reyes, who was accused of seducing a minor.
Representatives from the prosecution office in Constanza said that there was not sufficient proof for a case and there was no possibility of any new elements appearing.
The underage girls who accused Father Johnny were Alejandra Soriano Reyes, Yuderkis Trinidad Reyes and Paula Capellan Corcino.
The priest has always denied the accusations and said he could demonstrate his innocence in court.
