600 children were sexually abused in the church of this country, Catholic priests hid their acts for 80 years, used to say 'God's will'

US Catholic Church Sexual Abuse: Hundreds of priests sexually abused children inside the Catholic Church in America, the country with the largest Christian population. This was going on for the last 80 years, but their misdeeds came to light when Maryland State Attorney General Anthony Brown released a report in a press conference.

On behalf of the Attorney General of Maryland, it was told that Catholic priests, along with some other people, sexually abused more than 600 children inside the Catholic Church in the State of Maryland, USA. Such dirty acts were being done there for the last 80 years i.e. since 1940. However, no action could be taken in this matter because the matter was kept hidden by the misbehavior of the priests and the church management.


Perpetrators resorted to coercion and threats of children

According to the report, most of the crimes committed inside the church targeted children who were forced or were hired by the church. Child molesters used to attribute their acts to God's will. It was told in the report that 156 Catholic priests were involved in sexual abuse. This report is of 463 pages, which was released by Maryland's Attorney General Anthony Brown on 6 April. This report has been prepared after investigation for 4 years.

America's first Catholic diocese is Maryland. Let us

tell you that America's population is more than 31 crores and there are about 50 states in it. In which Maryland is said to be the first Catholic diocese of America. Here the involvement of members of the Archdiocese of Baltimore in crimes of sexual abuse inside the church has come to the fore.
