Pope Francis looks on during a meeting with internally displaced persons at the Freedom Hall in Juba, South Sudan, on Feb. 4, 2023.The nun accused Mulakkal of raping her multiple times during his visits to her convent in Kuravilangad in Kerala state, in a case that became a major issue amid allegations of sexual abuse in the church.
Police charged Mulakkal with rape, illegal confinement and intimidation of the nun. A group of fellow nuns launched unprecedented public protests demanding Mulakkal’s arrest in 2018. He was detained and soon released on bail. A court acquitted Mulakkal in January last year. The nun has appealed the verdict to Kerala’s High Court.
Mulakkal was the official patron of the nun’s community, the Missionaries of Jesus, and had influence over its budgets and job assignments.
