The priest Julio César Grassi, creator of the Felices los Niños Foundation, is still detained in the Campana prison, serving the 15-year sentence imposed on him by Justice eight years ago, when he was found guilty of child sexual abuse and corruption of minors.
However, the 66-year-old priest could receive probation starting next May after a new appeal by his lawyers.
“There is a week or ten days left for his defense to present a letter requesting parole,” said A24 journalist Liliana Caruso.
“He finished his law degree and this benefits him. He will be able to go out and he will have to restrict himself to approach boys, he cannot approach minors, ”explained the journalist specializing in police issues.
“Actually, the priest Grassi, you have to call him a priest, because the Church never removed him from his position,” added Caruso.
Grassi is serving his sentence in pavilion 6 of Penitentiary Unit No. 41, where he has been staying since 2013.
May of this year marks ten years since the priest was arrested, which represents two thirds of his sentence. This means that he could receive probation, if the lawyers who defend him request the benefit.
