The Catholic Church has published statistics showing that about 20 priests in Scotland have been accused of sexual, physical, verbal or emotional abuse since 2006.
Figures disclosed yesterday showed that more than half of all 46 complaints of abuse made against the Church were sex-related in the six years to 2012. Priests, volunteers, employees and parishoners were included in allegations which relate to contemporary and historical cases of abuse.
