Egaña asked the pope to accept his resignation after being denounced last June for badual badault on a minor in 1985, in which case he adds to the wave of pedophile scandals.

Last August, an investigation had determined that the charges against him were "credible", but the abuses would have already been prescribed. Before the pope accepted his resignation, the antecedents had been sent to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican, an entity that was investigating pedophile denunciations against priests.
