Author claims to have uncovered first Church sex abuse scandal
Karen Liebreich says she has uncovered evidence of a cover up back in the 1640s where a man accused of abusing boys in his care was actually promoted.
In her book, Fallen Order, Ms Leibreich, says that in 1643, a group of priests was able to take control of a Europe-wide religious order dedicated to teaching impoverished children, after the church hierarchy failed to deal with child abuse scandals amongst its members.
