216,000 children have been victims of sexual abuse by French clergy since 1950 – investigation

An investigation into sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church of France has shown that an estimated 216,000 children have been victims of clerical violence since 1950, Jean-March Sauve, head of the commission who drew up the report, said Tuesday. Writes about it Reuters.

The abuse was systemic, Sow said in a public online presentation of the report.

According to him, the Church not only did not take the necessary measures to prevent abuse, but also turned a blind eye to it, not reporting abuse and sometimes deliberately bringing children into contact with rapists.
