Victims of two former priests whose prison sentences for child abuse were confirmed by an Appeals Court yesterday have called on the Government to investigate the files of similar cases that were being “hidden” by the Church.
Speaking on the steps of the court shortly after a judge confirmed the imprisonment of their abusers, Lawrence Grech said he wanted to appeal to the Government to investigate other claims.
He said he also wanted to appeal to victims of sex abuse to come forward and make their claims known to the police.
The files of abuse cases were being hidden by the Church in the Curia, he claimed.
