More church abuse survivors from Sunbury have spoken up in the wake of Cardinal George Pell’s Royal Commission appearance.
Sunbury’s Paul Levey, who was in Rome when Cardinal Pell gave evidence via videolink, said he had been inundated with calls and emails since returning last week.
Some were from men who were talking for the first time after being abused while students at Salesian College.
‘‘More brothers, priests and teachers who were at Salesian have been named, and I know for sure they’ve not been previously named or charged,’’ Mr Levey said.
“There’s been a 25 per cent increase in calls to the Centre Against Sexual Assault in Ballarat … Sunbury, now, has just exploded.’’
A large number of Salesian College principals, boarding masters and brothers who were at the college between 1960 and 1990 have faced courts on scores of sexual abuse charges.
