Officials investigating the abuse of children at institutions across
Australia have revealed that 7 per cent of priests in Australia’s
Catholic Church were accused of sexually abusing children over the past
several decades.
The statistics were released Monday during the opening address of a hearing of Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The royal commission is Australia’s highest form of inquiry and has been investigating since 2013 how the Catholic Church and other institutions responded to the sexual abuse of children over decades.
