His arrest is part of a wider investigation into sexual abuse allegations by several priests in the Caribbean island.
Puerto Rico Justice Secretary Cesar Miranda alleged Mr Berrios initially gave money, a computer and a camera to the boy, who is now 21, and also took him on a cruise.
"All this began with the seduction of material things," Mr Miranda is quoted as saying by AP news agency.
The priest was serving in the Diocese of Caguas, a city south of the capital San Juan.
But he was defrocked by the Church after the allegations first emerged last year.
