In their case against the six suspects, including a school caretaker and the husband of one of the teachers, the prosecutors also cite evidence they may have performed satanic rites while abusing the children.
On the defensive
Michele Angeleri and his wife Nunzia - a colleague of the arrested teachers - have formed a committee to defend them.
"I worked with them all for 15 years and you can't imagine people more devoted to looking after and protecting children," said Nunzia, her eyes welling with tears.
Angeleri talks of a "collective psychosis," saying parents panicked at the sight of their children merely learning to explore their own bodies, and put words into their children's mouths.
