I edited the post to add images and videos statistics — it's frighteningly common.
The numbers are correct and it's shocking and heart-wrenching; here's a linked study [1], but there are many.
I went to college in Boston, where the Boston Globe broke a scandal that around 150 Catholic priests in Boston were accused of sexual abuse, with more than 500 victims [2] [3].
It was immensely tough to grasp and accept that in a small city like Boston, that many priests were sexually abusing children.
