– ‘Giuseppe’ was abused as a child by priests at the Antonio Provolo Institute
– He described how he was unable to communicate what was happening to others, even via sign-language, because the signs were invented by priests
– 67 boys are named in documents Verona prosecutors say they will bring to trial
A deaf and mute victim of the historic sex abuse inside the Catholic church has revealed how he and his friends were taught secret signs for oral sex and sodomy at a learning institute inItaly.
The victim, identified only as ‘Giuseppe’, told The Daily Beast how the priests and monks at the Antonio Provolo Institute in Verona had started teaching him a string of sickening signs for things such as masturbation, fellatio, penis, and anus, when he was just 11 years old.
The signs were designed to be incomprehensible to others, even those who could understand sign language, making it impossible for the children to accurately explain what was happening to them to their parents or the authorities.
