Victims of child sexual abuse have fought a long, painful battle
for justice. Their cause, sadly, has been set back by the incompetence
of, and shameful distortions by, Victoria Police. As John Ferguson
revealed on Saturday’s front page, the police force vastly overstated
the number of suicides related to child sex abuse by Catholic clergy in
the state.
After claiming 43 church-related suicides had taken place, police now concede the real figure was one suicide in which church-related sex abuse was a contributing factor.
