A bishop is arrested in Australia accused of 19 crimes of sexual abuse and pedophilia. Bishop Christopher Saunders resigned from his position in 2020 - the year in which the first complaints came to light.
The case gained importance again last September, when Australian media leaked parts of a report by the Vatican that indicated that Saunders is suspected of sexually assaulting four teenagers and an unknown number of boys. The report also revealed suspicions that the now former bishop potentially seduced 67 other boys and used Church funds to buy alcohol for Aboriginal youth while he held positions of authority.
