Peruvian Man Details Sexual Abuse He Faced at 'Boot Camp' for Troubled Catholic Kids

The sexual abuse began one evening in a park, says Alvaro Urbina. He was 14.  A misfit at his expensive English-style school in Lima, Peru, Urbina's recently separated mother was desperate to provide him with some direction. She enrolled him in Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana.
Sodalicio was a kind of Catholic boot camp, run by non-clerical volunteers, dedicated to transforming teenagers from the Peruvian elite into prominent priests or devout and influential lay members of society.
