More Franciscans.

More from Ramon Gutierrez's When Jesus Came, the Corn Mothers Went Away: Marriage, Sexuality, and Power in New Mexico, 1500-1846, this time p. 210:

In 1606 Gaspar Reyes found himself sick and destitute. Hoping to secure charity from the local Franciscan friars, he begged for food at their residence. A certain Frey Pedro took him in and fed him lavishly with a meal, which even included wine. When Gaspar was finished eating, the friar "stuck his hands in my pants, took my virile member and wriggled it... and said to me, yours is small, mine is bigger." The priest then took Gaspar to his cell where he tried [to fuck him].
