Ten Catholic Priests Charged With Child Sex Abuse In Spain

Ten Spanish priests were charged with child sex abuse by a court in the city of Granada on Tuesday in a case that came to light after Pope Francis spoke to one of the victims last year, according to media reports. The Roman Catholic priests, along with two church workers, are suspected of sexually abusing four teenage boys between 2004 and 2007.
The priests had been suspended by the Archdiocese of Granada and were arrested by police in November last year. The suspects, who face a possible prison term of 20 years each if found guilty, are currently free on bail pending trial, according to media reports.
