Nuns Also Accused of Sexual Abuse


Public attention in the Dutch Roman Catholic Church so far has focused on male perpetrators and victims. Since the end of February 29 women have complained about abuse in Church institutions. Ten women complained about abuse by a priest or brother. Nineteen testified about abuse by nuns. Of all these complaints about nuns, 40% deal with child abuse.
