Nun who helps priests sexually abuse deaf children charged in Argentina

A Roman Catholic nun has been charged on suspicion of helping priests sexually abuse deaf children, Argentinean authorities confirmed.

Police was promted to investigate after a former student accused the nun of forcing her to wear a diaper to conceal bleeding after she was allegedly raped by priest.

The nun, Kosaka Kumiko, was also charged with physically abusing students at the Antonio Provolo Institute for children with hearing impairment in northwestern Mendoza province.

42-year-old Kumiko, who was born in Japan but has Argentine citizenship, denied any wrong doing.

A Vatican investigative commission recently visited Mendoza to learn more about the case against the priests.
