Victims of some of the worst sexual abuse perpetrated by the Catholic
Church are being denied access to a vast archive of clergy crime, as
the church continues to ensure the offending is kept secret, despite the
files being handed over to the royal commission.
The nearly 2000 files – which include evidence about at least 63 offenders – have been amassed by the church's insurers, but the church appears intent on paying millions of dollars in victims compensation settlements to ensure the documents are not made public.
