“La casita de Dios”, that was the name of the hall of an institute for children with hearing problems in the city of Mendoza, Argentina, where priests raped the children who lived there for years. More than 20 people have reported having been sexually abused by clerics who were in charge of the institution and who lived in poor children.
Although the case was released in late 2016, recent details of the legal process facing the 14 defendants indicate that the trial against him would only begin in the coming months. Among the defendants are two priests, two nuns and several workers at the institution.
The first terrifying details of this chain of crimes caused great alarm among the Catholic community as they revealed that the nun Kumiko Kosaka, of Japanese origin, was the one who helped priests in choosing children who could become victims of sexual predators..
“They were very poor children, with families with problems, who [almost did not] see them because they were hospitalized. In addition, the chosen ones were those who had the most difficulties in communicating with their parents, those who did not know sign language,”revealed in 2017 the lawyer Sergio Salinas, legal representative of some of the victims who have dared to denounce the atrocities that they lived.
Salinas also assured that there are several testimonies in which the religious's participation in the abuses against minors is evident. “The nun took her [to one of the victims] to the priest's room… one day she put a diaper on to hide the bleeding and take her to the dining room. It hurt so much that she couldn't sit up. She made them watch pornography, she made the girls touch each other,”Salinas shared about the case of a little girl who was only 5 years old when she was abused.
The statements made by the victims are terrifying. Some of them have alleged that they were sometimes chained, forced to have relationships with several people at the same time and to have sex with each other while their abusers watched them. The heartbreaking versions have been partially verified by the authorities in charge of the investigation, who found chains and pornographic material, among other evidence, at the scene.
