Gloria TV News is reporting that, on Aug 20, a deacon from Argentina, Jorge Sonnante, published on Twitter 4 pages of a document he compiled for the Papal Secretary of State in 2013 which claims that Pedacchio's computer was seized in 2013 (the year Francis was elected) during an investigation for child pornography:
The Argentinian married Deacon Jorge Sonnante published on Twitter (August 20) a 4-page confidential document he allegedly wrote in 2013 on behalf of the Secretary of State. The document regards Father Fabián Pedacchio Leániz.
Sonnante writes as an "advisor" of Pope Francis on stationary of the Secretary of State expressing his opinion whether Pedacchio should be working as the Private Secretary of Pope Francis.
Pedacchio was sent in 2007 to the Roman Curia by Cardinal Bergoglio. The Spanish portal Intereconomia.com called him in 2011 "a spy of Cardinal Bergoglio in Rome".
Sonnante’s evaluation claims that Pedacchio’s computer was confiscated in 2013 by the police after a court ordered investigation on child pornography.
The document further claims that Pedacchio was registered on the gay dating websites Adanel.com, Badoo.com and ManHunt.net.
The documents (in Spanish) are here:

A December, 2013, article by Deacon Nick Donnelly on protectthepoe.com describes Leaniz as
“a spy of Cardinal Bergoglio in Rome” within the ranks of the Congregation of Bishops and also as one of the ‘pawns of Bergoglio’.
CNA writes about Msgr. Fabiàn Pedacchio Leaniz’s role as the ‘eyes and ears of Cardinal Bergoglio’:
In 2007, the Congregation of Bishops asked Cardinal Bergoglio if he could suggest an Argentinian priest for a post within its ranks. The cardinal chose Msgr. Pedacchio Leaniz, whom the archbishop of Buenos Aires held in great esteem.
Their friendship even led to some speculation about the true role the priest had in the Congregation for the Bishops. In a Dec. 26, 2011 report, an anonymous informant wrote in the Argentinian portal Intereconomia accusing him of being “a spy of Cardinal Bergoglio in Rome” within the ranks of the Congregation of Bishops.
The report insinuated that Msgr. Pedacchio used to inform Cardinal Bergoglio “of any document or letter that reached the Congregation, sealed documents included.” The report also asserted that “when the issue at stake is very important, Msgr. Pedacchio also sends faxes to Bergoglio with all the documentation required” by “his boss.”
Msgr. Pedacchio Leaniz is considered by many to be skilled and attentive. “He used to keep eyes and ears open,” said a Vatican clerk who worked in the Congregation for Bishops and spoke to CNA on the condition of anonymity.’
Now, Msgr. Pedacchio Leaniz is Pope Francis’ full-time second secretary, a position through which he aids the Holy Father in his daily life whether it be as a translator or in answering personal correspondence in the name of the Pope. The first secretary is Msgr. Alfred Xuereb, of Maltese origins, who also served as second secretary to Benedict XVI.
As second secretary, Msgr. Pedacchio will eventually be inserted into the ranks of the Secretari
at of State.’

Stuff keeps coming out every day. Slowly chipping away at the reign of bergoglio. How long will it take? He is keeping quiet on the Penn. Grand Jury 301 results and has totally ignored mentioning the St. Joseph Orphanage debacle in Burlington Vermont. He has shamed his position as pope and as far as the Victims and Survivors he has let them know that he has no respect or sympathy for the abuse and rapes that his church men have committed against them when they were children. These Victims have suffered all their lives and this pope does not care one bit. Is this secretary providing child porn for bergolgio? Would not be a bit surprised. I wonder who is taking Gustavo's place?

Carmencita, I'm taking this down because it's been verified that this document is a fake:

I totally understand. Thanks for informing me. But we must remember the part of the statement that says:
Sonnante's story caught on the public because Pope Francis has a history of promoting gay or pro-gay prelates.
We have to remember that many will try to hijack anything that will make news. The sad thing is, that when fake stories and documents are presented, it sometimes is done for a purpose. People start wondering if the ones that are truthful, well maybe, they are fake too. A masterful plan. All this stuff is making me sick.
