The Head of the Catholic Church says it would be premature to conduct an inquiry into the reports of allegations of sexual abuse within the church.
While addressing the media this morning, Archbishop Peter Loy Chong says the claims of alleged sexual abuse of children reported by TVNZ’s One News dates back to the early 90’s adding that there would not be sufficient records to conduct an investigation.
The Archbishop says since he took up the position in 2013, the Catholic Church in Fiji has not received any reports of such allegations of sexual abuse against children.
