In Argentina, two Roman Catholic priests have been sentenced to more than forty years in prison each for sexually abusing deaf children. The two priests, as well as a gardener, were found guilty of raping and abusing more than 20 boys and girls at a church school. Host Marco Werman speaks with the BBC’s Veronica Smink, who’s been reporting on this story from Buenos Aires.
