from mparent Portugal reeling over child sex abuse scandal By Elizabeth Nash in Lisbon 6/16/03 "The opposition socialists...some of their senior MPs may be involved in scandal over sex abuse of boys in a state orphanage. The senior socialist MP Paulo Pedroso, number two in the party and a former labour minister, was taken from parliament by police and held for investigation three weeks ago on 15 counts of suspected child-sex abuse. Eduardo Ferro Rodrigues, the party leader, who is not accused of involvement, testified in court last week, and the former prime minister Antonio Guterres, who is also not under suspicion, visited him in jail to show support. The abuse accusations centre on Casa Pia, an austere building in a leafy Lisbon neighbourhood, home to children without families, or with parents too poor to care for them. Claims that boys suffered decades of sexual abuse while the authorities did nothing has thrown Portugal into deep shock." http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/story.jsp?story=415834
