Thread Name: BS: Catholic Abuse of Children
Subject: RE: BS: Catholic Abuse of Children
It's the Regensburger Domspatzen, Raggytash. The abuse was first reported in 2010, and the facts of the case haven't changed much since it was first reported. Two choir directors were named as perpetrators - both died in 1986. The abuse offenses began in about 1958, and there were hundreds of victims.

There hasn't been much new in the press about this scandal since it was first reported in 2010. The Süddeutsche Zeitung had an article today about the completion of payment of reparations to the victims.

There was a lot of press coverage about this scandal because the former director of the choir is the brother of Pope Benedict XVI. The pope's brother was not a suspect in the investigation of these crimes.
