Kosaka Kumiko, 42, allegedly helped the priests cover up anal and vaginal rapes, fondling and oral sex at the institution for deaf students in Argentina.
The abuse allegedly took place in the bathrooms, dorms, garden and a basement at the school in Lujan de Cuyo, a city about 620 miles northwest of Buenos Aires.
Authorities began investigating Kumiko when a former student claimed she made her wear a nappy to cover up bleeding after she was raped.
At least 24 children have come forward to report abuse at the school.
‘They always said it was a game: ‘Let’s go play, let’s go play’ and they would take us to the girls’ bathroom,’ said one of the women who claims that she was abused at the school in Argentina
Children said priests Nicola Corradi and the Rev. Horacio Corbacho repeatedly raped them inside the small school chapel.
Nobody else would have heard their cries because the other children at the school were deaf.
This week Kumiko, who is originally from Japan but has Argentine citizenship, was arrested and charged over the allegations she helped them. She also stands accused of physically abusing students in her care.
Authorities in Argentina say she had been on the run for about a month before turning herself in.
Local media showed the nun in handcuffs and wearing her habit and a bullet-proof vest as she was escorted by police to a court hearing.
Kumiko denied any wrongdoing during the eight-hour hearing on Thursday
