In total, the state found, more than"600 children are known to have been abused by the 156 people included in this Report, but the number is likely far higher." "Young people in some parishes were preyed upon by multiple abusers over decades, and clergy used the power and authority of the ministry to exploit the trust of the children and families in their charge," Brown found.
