Condamnare pentru un fost episcop catolic din Australia: a abuzat doi tineri
A former Catholic bishop, Christopher Saunders, was convicted in Australia for sexual abuse of two Indigenous youths. He was found guilty on 13 out of 19 charges related to incidents between 2008 and 2019. Prosecutors claimed he lured young men to his home, offering them alcohol and cigarettes, while enforcing rules that required guests to remove their shirts. Saunders was acquitted on six charges, including one involving a minor over 16. His resignation in 2021 followed police announcements regarding the investigation into his conduct. The Vatican conducted its own inquiry, leading to renewed police action against him. A national investigation revealed that 7% of Australian Catholic priests faced abuse allegations from 1950 to 2010.
