Five nuns among accused in Kerala priest’s sexual abuse case

Thiruvananthapuram: In a serious blow to the image of the Catholic Church in Kerala, as many as five nuns are among the eight accused in the case pertaining to a priest who charged with sexually abusing and impregnating a 16-year-old school student at Kottiyoor in Kannur district.
The girl gave birth to a baby boy in early February. It has now come to light that the priest, Robin Vadakkumcherry, 48, and his accomplices tried to cover up the matter. The schoolgirl was admitted to a church-run hospital for delivery and the new-born was taken away to an orphanage run by nuns a day after birth.
