Joseph Cini, one of two priests accused of raping an altar boy in Gozo, has left court after being arraigned this morning.
Asked by the press where he was ashamed, he responded, waving a handkerchief: “Don’t you see me crying?”
Cini, a priest in his 70s from Għarsi, and Joseph Sultana, an 84-year-old who served in Xagħra’s parish, both pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and corruption of a minor. Both will be kept under arrest as the case continues.
