The Late Mexican Pop Superstar Juan Gabriel Was Molested by a Priest at Age 13, a New Documentary Reveals
In the four-part docuseries Juan Gabriel: I Must, I Can, I Will, which premiered on Netflix Thursday, Oct. 30, a narrator reveals that the singer-songwriter —whose death in 2016 was mourned by political leaders (then-Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and then-U.S. President Barack Obama) and fellow musicians, including John Fogerty—was molested by a priest in his youth.
"At 13, he was forced to work as a helper in the house of a priest who molested him, propositioned him," the narrator reveals.
When he was alive, Juan Gabriel never publicly stated he was molested by a priest.

Oklahoma pastor accused of trafficking members of his church, facing multiple charges
“Victims told our Agents they were forced to work for Flores without compensation, and he would threaten them with physical harm if they attempted to leave, claiming he was a member of the violent gang, MS-13," said OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward. "And Flores used his influence as a pastor to spiritually coerce the victims by targeting their religious convictions. One victim told Agents that Flores gave her a test to prove her ability to resist temptation. During this test, the victim was sexually battered by Flores."
In April, Flores was arrested by Oklahoma City Police on three counts of lewd acts with a child and was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail.
In October, his charges were amended to include five counts of human trafficking for labor and one count of sexual battery.
“I am proud of the work by the men and women of our Human Trafficking Unit to get this predator off the streets so he can no longer prey on the innocent and vulnerable, and I am grateful that the victims in this investigation are receiving support and assistance," said OBN Director Donnie Anderson.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
