Fox News says:  "Archbishop Jose Luis Escobar Alas says the girl Delgado started abusing when she was 9 is now 43 and the statute of limitations on the crime has run out."  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/12/18/el-salvador-church-fires-3-priests-for-sex-abuse.html?refresh=true

A BBC article of 27 Nov 2015:  "The Church was forced to act after the government of El Salvador warned that it would name the priest.  Secretary of Social Inclusion Vanda Pignato informed the Catholic Church in October of the results of the government's findings, La Prensa Grafica newspaper reported."

Also in BBC article:  "Father Jesus Delgado sexually abused a young girl over an eight-year period during the 1980s, the Church said in statement.  He is willing to meet woman, who is now 42, and ask for forgiveness, reads the statement."

I would like to think the Vatican acted because they had serious allegations against these priests and took them seriously.  But, I have my doubts.
