Fr. Arzuaga was not a big/strong man and he was by her account heavily intoxicated.  Had she physically resisted, I don’t see how she couldn’t have thwarted any attempted rape on his part.  And the fact that this happened over and over again without her having done much of anything to prevent it ... I agree that it doesn’t pass a smell test.  It’s also interesting that she won’t name this confessor who could theoretically back up parts of her story.  So she would just lay there every night wondering if Fr. Arzuaga would show up to rape her?  “I’m glad he didn’t show up tonight to rape me.”  Wouldn’t you just move or do SOMEthing?  Then she plays the “shaming” card ... asserting that anyone who doesn’t accept everything she says to be true is shaming her.  That’s garbage.

I hate to sound cliche, but as a man you would already have a very different reaction than a young woman. Men are fighters. Their reason overrides their emotions when it comes to crises. Women tend to have emotions that override their reason in a crisis. Very complimentary in God's plan.
A young girl, living on her own, working for the school, scared stiff is not going to think rationally, especially if she is suffering some kind of PTSD. You say what she should have done not only as a man, but as someone totally disassociated from the trauma. Why do any abused women stay with their abusers?
In this case it was her parish, her support system, her salary... everything at stake. It is impossible to judge someone's actions here.
I'm not saying I believe or disbelieve the story... but I will remember to tell my daughters to keep their guard up.

?  why?  Because women always tell the truth?

But the woman seems sincere.

I didn't see this before and it can explain what happened. The key is "A young girl, living on her own", with everyone around her against her "her parish, her support system".

In my culture daughters lived at home till they married. If they worked, they still lived at home and worked with a relative or a trusted Catholic friend of the family that would watch over her like the parents. This is why I say the daughters should stay at home till they marry. In my eyes, Americans trad parents are like snakes, they lay their eggs and then let them fend for themselves. This is an American thing, it is not Catholic, and they have spread all over the world. American Trads have their children and send them off to be taught by others, and then boarding school in another state at 12 years of age. They are worse than the secularists who keep their children home from K-12, then send them off to college at 18 and up.

I can believe now that this could have happened had the girl had no one to turn to; no parents to turn to, or parents, parish, and support system that worship priests as gods, rather than as men.

She evidently has the birth certificate, so if the SSPX wanted to protect others, they would have looked into this, found the 23 year old and ask if he or she would submit to DNA testing.
Bottom line. They chose to bury their heads in the sand, rather than to attempt to protect others from a possible predator.

I seem to recall from the video that she said she got the priest to sign some paper about the adoption.
