He was also ordered to pay 13,000 euros in "moral damages" to four “victims” and 9,000 euros in legal costs. His conviction led to Ventura's inclusion in the national judicial register of sexual offenders.
In one case, at a ceremony for diplomates in Paris, an Italian journalist who was present together with the nuncio, vehemently denied that anything unbecoming had happened.
Ventura was not present for the trial, which took place on 10 November, nor for the decision on Wednesday.
An expertise concluded that Ventura suffered from an alteration in discernment related to a "cognitive illness."
