A new allegation of child sexual abuse has been made against the former Bishop of Bruges Roger Vangheluwe.
Vangheluwe resigned from his post as Head of the West Flemish Diocese in April 2010 after it emerged that he had sexually abused his then under-age nephew in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Another family member has also made child sex allegations against him.
The news of the fresh allegations against Bishop Vangheluwe was broke by the weekly magazine Humo and it has been confirmed by the Federal Judicial Authorities.
