Sunday, 22 Dec 2019 04:32 PM MYTMEXICO CITY, Dec 22 — At least 175 children were sexually assaulted by priests belonging to an ultra-conservative Mexican branch of the Roman Catholic Church, according to an internal report published yesterday.
The findings of the report -- written by a commission created in June by the director general of the group, Eduardo Robles-Gil—spans from the group’s founding in 1941 until December 16, 2019. The report notes that 18 of the 33 individuals who committed abuses are still part of the organization, but says they have been removed from tasks connected to the public or minors.
“There are probably more cases of abuse than those in the report and the statistics will have to be updated regularly,” it added.
