“This is like opening Pandora’s Box,” is how one prosecutor, Alexander Gullé, described the investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of deaf children at a Catholic school in Argentina’s Mendoza province.
“Every minute,” he told reporters, “we see different circumstances, different facts … I am frankly embarrassed about the direction in which the investigation is taking us.”
The case that Gullé is talking about is one in which a priest accused of sexually abusing deaf children in Italy wasn’t sanctioned by the Vatican, and allegedly went on to abuse children in Pope Francis’ native Argentina.
Advocates for clerical sex abuse victims expressed outrage on Thursday, a few days after Argentine police arrested 82-year old Nicola Corradi, priest Horacio Corbacho, 55, and three other men at the Antonio Próvolo Institute, a school for youths with hearing disabilities in the northwest of the country.
The men are accused of abusing at least eight children, fondling them and subjecting them to various forms of sexual intercourse over a decade, said Fabricio Sidoti, the chief investigating prosecutor.
