Child-abusing ex-bishop’s tell-all shocks Belgium

A FORMER bishop’s televised admission that he sexually abused two of his nephews has caused an uproar in Belgium, with the prime minister, senior clergy and a prosecutor expressing shock at the way the ex-prelate made light of his offences.

In an interview Roger Vangheluwe, the former bishop of Bruges, spoke of his sexual abuse as “a little game,” that involved fondling, but no “rough sex”.

“I was never naked” and the abuse was never about “real sexuality,” said Vangheluwe, 74.
