Description
Recent studies revealed that over the last 50 years, approximately four percent of Catholic priests were responsible for molesting some 10,000 victims—the majority of whom were young people. After reporting on these studies’ findings, this ABC News program scrutinizes a diocese in California to examine what exactly has happened there. Although sexual misconduct involving priests has been public knowledge for some time now, this research data exposes for the first time the appalling scope of it.
