Antonio Provolo Institute for the Deaf (Italian: Compagnia di Maria per l'educazione dei sordomuti) is a Catholic school for deaf children in Verona, Italy.
[3][4] On May 6, 2017, Argentine authorities charged Japanese nun Sr. Kosako Kumiko with abusing children at the very same Argentine school as well,[5] and also for covering up sex abuse committed by the other two priests.
[4] However, the trial took place in Argentina,[4] where they were jailed after being accused of sexually abusing 22 children at the Argentine school.
[8][9][10] Apart from Gómez, several other school staff, including Kumiko, have been jailed for complicity since the abuse allegations surfaced in 2016.
[11] At the time of the conviction, Kumiko was still being held in prison, but had yet to start trial.
