A prominent Roman Catholic priest in Argentina has been jailed, four years after being convicted of sexually abusing a teenage-boy.
A court in Buenos Aires province rejected an appeal by Father Julio Cesar Grassi, who has been sentenced to 15 years in jail, to remain under house arrest.
He was convicted in 2009 of abusing the boy at his “Happy Children” foundation.
He insists he is innocent and says the case is based on false evidence.
