Notes: In 2003, a man came forward and accused Agostino of sexually abusing him. The Vincentians investigated and found that there was not sufficient evidence to support the man’s claims. In April 2009, the same man presented new details and clarified that he was a minor at the time of the alleged abuse. As a result, there was a new investigation and Agostino was placed on leave. Agostino denied the allegations.
As of 2018, Agostino remains an active priest with the Vincentians.
