Former Australian Bishop Christopher Saunders arrested on sexual abuse charges. The 74-year-old was taken away from his home in the state of Western Australia on Wednesday.
Police had already investigated Saunders in 2018 and 2020, who at the time was still Bishop of Broome, a diocese in the outback in northwest Australia. However, due to a lack of evidence, the public prosecutor did not press charges. Last September, the Holy See sent a 200-page report to Australian police saying Saunders was likely guilty of four sexual assaults against Indigenous youth.
