A court in Buenos Aires sentenced Julio César Grassi to 15 years in prison on several charges of child abuse at the Felices los Niños foundation in Hurligham in the late 1990s. Grassi was also barred from heading the foundation and returning to its building unaccompanied.

He was found guilty for the aggravated abuse and rape a minor. Nevetheless, he was acquitted in two other cases. The provincial court meanwhile allowed the priest to remain free until the sentence is confirmed.

The statement of the judge said Grassi had deliberately preparing the minors for the sexual abuses, "intending to change the sexual orientation of the victims." The court ruling said he must not get close to any minors, and he will not be allowed to enter the Felices Los Niños foundation unaccompanied.
