Grandmothers arrested over satanic sex abuse at school

Three women teachers were among six people arrested yesterday accused of sedating and sexually abusing children as young as 3 at a school near Rome.

The teachers - two of whom are grandmothers who had taught at the school and at Sunday school for decades - are said to have part in the repeated abuse of 15 children aged 3 and 5 for a year, filming them in sexual acts with satanic overtones at the teachers’ homes and in a wood.
