French Catholic clergy sexually abused 330,000 children: Report

After nearly three years investigating the French Catholic Church, an independent commission says about 330,000 children were victims of sexual abuse over 70 years. The landmark report says about 3,000 child abusers, two-thirds of whom were priests, operated within the church since the 1950s. The report details what it calls the “complete indifference” on the part of the church towards the victims. Catholic bishops in France called for an independent inquiry in 2018, to shed light on past abuses. – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish/ – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera/ – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ #France #SexAbuse #CatholicChurch #ChildSexAbuse
