The Catholic Church continues to harm sex abuse victims by its failure
to acknowledge the extent to which it covered-up sex crimes against
children. For three weeks, the County Court of Victoria has been host to countless
victim survivors of Catholic clergy child-sex crimes.
The severe psychological and psychiatric harm caused by these crimes was evident not only with the primary victims giving evidence, but also the many family members of loved ones who had killed themselves because the pain and damage of the sex crimes were too great to bear.
