  "summary": "An Argentinian court has overturned the acquittal of former nun Kumiko Kosaka in a high-profile child sex abuse case involving deaf children at the Provolo Institute of Mendoza. The 51-year-old Japanese national, who had been acquitted in 2023 of abusing students at the free boarding school for underprivileged children with hearing and speech difficulties, may now face up to 50 years in prison following the reversal by the Supreme Court of Justice of Mendoza province. The historic decision, which means the children told the truth and the court acted arbitrarily when it acquitted her, has sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church in Argentina, the homeland of former Pope Francis.",
