A former Santa Fe priest accused of sexually abusing a minor is expected to take a plea deal. Daniel Balizan was arrested last year after being accused of sexually abusing a minor between 2012 and 2022.
Balizan is accused of committing the abuse while being a priest for the Santa Maria de La Paz Catholic Church in Santa Fe. Federal court documents show Balizan is expected to take a plea deal later this month. He is still facing two lawsuits claiming he committed the same crime to two other minors while at the Santa Fe church.
