An 80-year-old Spanish nun appeared in court Thursday to face charges that she kidnapped an infant girl as part of a vast baby-trafficking ring that stole newborns from poor mothers and sold them into adoption.
Sister Maria Gomez Valbuena appeared before the judge and refused to testify, invoking her right to remain silent, Reuters reported.
The aging Sisters of Charity nun was charged with kidnapping a newborn girl from a Madrid hospital in the 1980s.
A group of more than 1,000 families said she was part of a nationwide baby-snatching ring dating back four decades.
