Four out of ten former Exclusive Brethrens who responded to a study
looking at traumatic experiences growing up in the sect say they were
sexually abused as children in New Zealand.
The study, carried out by a former Brethren, found 18 of 44 participants claimed they had been sexually abused as children. The figure was significantly higher than the worldwide average, which found around 27 per cent claimed they had suffered child sex abuse.
