Asturias court overturns priest's abuse conviction, orders review

The Asturias High Court has overturned the ten-year prison sentence of "Padre Chus" for alleged child abuse, ordering a review of the case. The court's decision stems from concerns about protecting the alleged victims, potentially requiring a retrial where the defense can cross-examine them. The priest was previously expelled from the Church in 2015 for immoral conduct and child abuse. This legal development follows multiple investigations and arrests related to the priest, including a recent incident and a previous stabbing. He maintains his innocence despite the accusations.
