Many observers may not believe this next story we’re going to present.
An Argentina-based nun was arrested by authorities over allegations that she helped priests to sexually abused deaf children.
In a Metro report, the nun named Kosaka Kumiko arrested for ‘helping five priests rape deaf children’.
The Roman Catholic nun Kosaka Kumiko, 42, allegedly helped the priests cover up anal and vaginal rapes, fondling and oral sex at the institution for deaf students in Argentina.
In the same report, it says that the abuse allegedly took place in the bathrooms, dorms, garden and a basement at the school in Lujan de Cuyo, a city about 620 miles northwest of Buenos Aires, country’s capital.
Local authorities began investigating Kumiko when a former student claimed she made her wear a nappy to cover up bleeding after she was raped.
At least 24 children have come forward to report abuse at the school.

Allegedly the respondent priests Nicola Corradi and the Rev. Horacio Corbacho repeatedly raped the “poor” kids in a presence of an image of the Virgin Mary inside the small school chapel, says children.
The report also said, nobody else would have heard their cries because the other children at the school were deaf.
Abuse by priests is alleged to have taken place where children went to confession as well as elsewhere in the grounds.
‘They always said it was a game: ‘Let’s go play, let’s go play’ and they would take us to the girls’ bathroom,’ said one of the women who claims that she was abused at the school in Argentina.
It can be remembered that the five priests were previously arrested in late November by police who raided the school and found porn magazines and about $34,000 in Corradi’s room.
Just this week Kumiko, who is originally from Japan but has Argentine citizenship, was arrested and charged over the allegations she helped them.
Sister Kumiko also stands accused of physically abusing students in her care.
Meanwhile, authorities in Argentina say she had been on the run for about a month before turning herself in.
When asked over her side, Kumiko denied any wrongdoing during the eight-hour hearing on Thursday.
Authorities say that she lived at the Provolo Institute for children with hearing problems from 2004 until 2012.
She was first investigated when a former student accused of making her wear a nappy to cover up a hemorrhage after she was allegedly raped by priest Horacio Corbacho.
Corbacho, fellow priest Nicola Corradi and three other men were arrested last year after they were charged with sexually abusing at least two dozen students at the Provolo Institute.
If found guilty, the accused face 10 to 50 years in prison.
