From CBS2Chicago:A 79-year-old Roman Catholic nun from Illinois pleaded no contest Monday to two counts of indecent behavior with a child for alleged sexual encounters with two male students at a church convent and school where she was principal during the 1960s.So it is not just the priests who will be hidden from prosecution by Church officials... This is a serious crisis and it still doesn't appear, to me anyway, that the Church is any closer to the position of taking it seriously. The Church should expose these problems instead of sweeping them under the rug...
The nun, Norma Giannini, listed in online court records as living in Oak Lawn, Ill., and her attorney left the courthouse without comment after entering the pleas in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
Giannini faces a maximum 10 years on each count when sentenced Feb. 1.
According to the criminal complaint, the two men told authorities they had dozens of sexual encounters with Giannini, including intercourse, while attending St. Patrick's School in Wisconsin.
