A 42-year-old Roman Catholic nun, Kosaka Kumiko, has been arrested for allegedly helping priests to sexually molest children at a school for youths with hearing disabilities in Argentina.
According to a United Kingdom based newspaper, Daily Mail, the 42-year-old nun, who hails from Japan was charged with helping the priests with anal and vaginal rapes.
The report claimed that the sexual attack was allegedly committed in the bathrooms, dormitories, garden and a basement at the school located in Lujan de Cuyo, Buenos Aires, the country’s capital.
Kumiko was arrested after a former student accused her of making her wear a diaper to cover up a hemorrhage after she was allegedly raped by a certain priest identified as Horacio Corbacho.
However, the report quoted her as telling judicial officials that, “I am innocent.”
Kumiko, who has Argentine citizenship, has also been charged with physically abusing the students.
The suspect is presently in custody at a local women’s prison while detectives investigate the alleged crimes.
