Some 216,000 children have been sexually abused by members of the French Catholic clergy since 1950, an independent inquiry has found.

It warned that the number could rise to 330,000 when abuse by lay members of the Church was included.

The head of the inquiry, Jean-Marc Sauvé, said the figures were "overwhelming".

The French Church expressed "shame and horror" over the findings, and asked for forgiveness.

One victim called the report a turning point in France's history, and said it was time for the Catholic Church to fundamentally reassess its actions.

The release of the report marks the latest sexual abuse scandal to rock the Roman Catholic Church.

The inquiry was commissioned by the French Catholic Church in 2018.

I went to a Catholic school with priests and never had a problem. I was clearly unattractive.

They knew you would be believed if they touched you and you squealed.

You weren't seen as vulnerable and in need of 'love'. Most abuse victims have low self-esteem and are usually more easily persuaded.

never really understood this until an episode of Cracker when he explained why the suspects sister was abused not her.

Low self esteem sounds like it applies to many (most) kids? Perhaps one reason why they are so vulnerable and need protection.

The point Cracker made was one sister would buckle the other would shout out because that was the way she was made. The one that would buckle was easy prey, the one that would scream was too risky.

Jimmy McGovern was always a good observer.
