DOCUMENTS: List of evidence seized during search
Investigators worked well into the night Wednesday identifying and collecting boxes of documents at 1700 San Jacinto Street that could be evidence in the case against La Rosa-Lopez.
He’s charged with fondling two children, a boy and a girl, over a period of three years beginning in 1998, while he was pastor at Conroe’s Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
He’s also been accused by a third alleged victim, a 6th grade boy who said La Rosa-Lopez touched him.
The allegation occurred in 1992 while La Rosa-Lopez was at St. Thomas More Catholic Church.
