A foundation representing victims of sexual abuse by Catholic church officials has made a police complaint against three monks who worked in the former Bleijerheide residential school in Kerkrade.
A spokesman for the Mea Culpa foundation told the Telegraaf the three men ‘deliberately and knowingly’ kept secret about crucial information about the abuse of their pupils.
‘All three monks should be questioned by the police as quickly as possible,’ Bert Smeets said.

One of the three is Maastricht minister Jan S who is already the subject of an investigation into sexual abuse. He has been suspended by the bishop of Roermond.
