THE State Government has launched an investigation into child sexual abuse within religious and non-government organisations.
Premier Ted Baillieu and Attorney-General Robert Clark announced the inquiry today following a police investigation that launched several suicides to sexual assaults by priests.
“It is clear that there have been a substantial number of established complaints of sexual abuse of children by those who have taken advantage of positions of authority,” Mr Clark said.
“This abuse has had traumatic consequences for victims and their families.”
