Sexual abuse leaves lasting scars that stay with the survivor long
past the act itself ends. With early intervention and therapy the odds
are better for that child to have a happy and productive life. In cases
where someone such as a priest violates the trust and personal space of
a child, the mental and emotional toll can be devastating. The
Catholic Church has long tried to cover up cases of molestation within
its priesthood.
According to a new report from, The Sunday Age, The Catholic Church had set aside tens of millions of dollars to compensate sexual abuse victims years before it was prepared to publicly acknowledge the extent of the problem and now has up to $150 million set aside to cover existing and future claims. The church’s insurance company has allocated up to $150 million to cover outstanding and anticipated compensation claims, more than three times the amount believed to have been paid to victims to date.
