Scale of sexual abuse at Marist College Canberra revealed by royal commission

Royal commission documents have exposed Marist College in Canberra as the most notorious Catholic school in Australia for child sexual abuse claims. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has revealed 63 claims of child sexual abuse made against the school.
 But Bravehearts ambassador Damian De Marco believed the total number of victims at Marist College Canberra would be much higher.  "The true figure at Marist would be well over 100 given the number of stories I have heard about people who will never present officially and those that have died from suicide and drugs," Mr De Marco said.
