Juan Pablo Barrientos Hoyos is a Colombian researcher and journalist who was born in Medellin in the 20th century. He is renowned for looking into pederasty instances committed by Colombian Catholic Church clergymen. He works as a researcher and journalist.
Path
[edit]Barrientos was a correspondent in Washington, D.C. for the radio station La FM and Noticias RCN. In 2011, he resigned from his job in Washington and tried to enter politics by running for the Medellín city council endorsed by the Green Alliance Party, but he was not elected.[1]
He was director of Teleantioquia Noticias and has worked in several national media such as La FM, W Radio, Caracol Radio and Vorágine.[2]
He has been a professor at the university of Antioquia, Pontificia Bolivariana, Eafit, Santo Tomás and Politécnico Grancolombiano.[2]
Since 2023, he has been managing CasaMacondo, an investigative journalism portal.[2]
Priest Sexual Abuse Investigations
[edit]Barrientos is the author of three books that examine widespread and systemic child sex abuse by Colombian Catholic priests. After watching the movie Spotlight, which narrates the case's investigation in Boston, he started his own research.[3]
He carried his case all the way to Colombia's Constitutional Court through access to information requests, and in 2020 he won a historic decision requiring the Catholic Church to reveal information about forty-three priests who were accused of pedophilia.[4]
Throughout the development of his investigations Barrientos has denounced intimidation and threats as well as legal persecution and smear campaigns.[5] He received the Press Freedom Award in 2023 from the international organization Reporters Without Borders for his investigative work despite persecution and censorship attempts.[6]
The Puppets Case
[edit]In June 2022, Barrientos left Caracol Radio's morning news program because director Gustavo Gómez Córdoba forbade him from publishing an audio recording of the journalist's investigation into the Marionetas scandal, a corruption case involving former senator Mario Alberto Castaño. In a journalistic series titled "El show de las marionetas," Barrientos and his crew from the web Vorágine provided an overview of the 11 hearings that lasted 43 hours and allowed for the legality of arrests against Senator Castaño's criminal network. The public relations officer of the criminal network Nova Lorena Cañón, who claimed to have access to media outlets, including Caracol Radio, to disseminate material, was intercepted and mentioned, to publish information that would favor a candidate and that the value of such publication would be 4 million 500 thousand Colombian pesos.[7]
Awards
[edit]Barrientos has won the Simon Bolivar National Journalism Award three times; in 2018 for the best radio investigation with “Dejad que los niños vengan a mí”.
In 2023, he received the Press Freedom Award from Reporters Without Borders.[5]
