At least 22 children were sexually abused by two priests at a school for youths with hearing disabilities in Argentina, an investigating prosecutor said on Monday.
Police arrested Fr Nicola Corradi, 82, Fr Horacio Corbacho, 55, and three other men last week. They are accused of sexual and physical child abuse at the Antonio Provolo Institute in north-western Mendoza province. Authorities say the alleged victims are now in their 20s.
The accused have been assigned a public defender and are being held at a jail in Mendoza. They have not spoken publicly since their arrest.
