The Catholic Church has admitted in court it is responsible for the sexual abuse of a nine-year-old boy in Australia
7 September 2019
The child was raped by defrocked priest Gerald Ridsdale in the 1980s.
The church admitted it knew about an abuse complaint against Ridsdale in 1975...and it failed to take reasonable steps to protect the victim.
The admission could pave the way for hundreds of damages claims from sex abuse survivors.
