另外兩名神職人員亦面臨類似的指控，因為三名前詩班男孩說他們曾被他們虐待。
"I want to tell you, your honor, only one word: I'm not a pedophile," 84-year-old cleric Luiz Marques Barbosa told a court hearing, according to Reuters.
“我想告訴你，尊貴法官，只有一個字：我不是一個戀童癖，”84歲的教士路易斯馬克斯巴博薩告訴一法庭的聽證會，據路透社報導。
The footage, which was broadcast on a Brazilian TV network and is now available for sale in streets, shows Barbosa engaged in sexual misconduct in front of a church altar.
