HORRIFIC details of child sex abuse perpetrated by a paedophile network within the Anglican Church — including a South Australian with an estimated 80 victims- have been detailed to a royal commission.

The Archbishop of Sydney, Glenn Davies, this morning publicly apologised to victims of the network — which operated in South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania between the 1960s and 1990s.

His lawyer told the Royal Commission into the Institutional Response into Child Sexual Abuse that he was “deeply sorry” for the pain and anguish suffered by young boys sexually abused by members of the Church of England Boys’ Society (CEBS), including priests.

“The Archbishop is deeply sorry that this terrible abuse of trust occurred,” she said.

“He apologises to the survivors for this breach of trust.”
