141 Pedophiles Reported to Police by Royal Commission into Child Sex Abuse

ALMOST 150 paedophiles have been reported to police by Australia's Royal Commission into Child Sex Abuse as it investigates 13 ­institutions and more than 30 victims have come forward.

The commission has been so overwhelmed with reports of sexual abuse that it will be impossible to look into all of them, commission chair Justice Peter McClellan said yesterday.

There are 168 institutions, including orphanages and residential schools, where five or more victims have spoken to the commission. It said 62 per cent of complaints involved abuse in a religious ­institution, most of them Catholic.

“Although the royal commission has been given significant resources they could never be sufficient to allow the examination of more than a relatively small selection of the institutions in which we are aware there have been problems,” Justice McClellan said. “I am sorry many people will be disappointed their particular institution and their own story will not be publicly examined.”
Sup't Frank Valentine allegedly assaulted kids at the Parramatta Girls home
The commission has referred 141 matters to police throughout Australia, including the former Superintendent of Parramatta Girls Training School, Frank Valentine, who was accused of raping a girl, 13, in the school’s “dungeon” in the early 1970s. He vehemently denies the claims.

Justice McClellan said he had spoken to federal Attorney-General George Brandis about extending the commission beyond its schedule 2015 wrap-up date. 

Royal Commissions are very expensive. Canada's RC into Residential Schools cost $60 million over five years. Nevertheless, let's pray that more funding is made available so that more healing can be accomplished.
