#A Portuguese court has sentenced six people to up to 18 years in jail for abusing children from a state orphanage. They were found guilty of sexually abusing minors and adolescents, raping children and running a pedophile ring at the state-run Casa Pia home for children in Lisbon during the1990s. The trial lasted nearly six years and involved several prominent defendants, including a well-known television presenter, a former diplomat and two doctors.
