June 17, 2020 There will be at least 3,000 victims of sexual abuse in the church in France since 1950. The president of the independent commission on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, Jean-Marc Sauvè, announced it by videoconference.

The investigation data are still provisional.

Sauvè has specified that in that period, the number of perpetrators of sexual violence inside the church cannot be "less than 1,500".

In the videoconference it was also specified that these are temporary figures that come from a first part of the work done by his commission in the archives of the dioceses
and religious congregations.
