Description
Spain's national ombudsman Angel Gabilondo delivers a damning report which estimates that 200,000 minors are estimated to have been sexually abused in Spain by the Roman Catholic clergy since 1940. The probe, which was carried out by an independent commission, did not give a specific figure but said a poll of over 8,000 people found that 0.6 percent of Spain's adult population of around 39 million people said they had suffered sexual abuse by members of the clergy when they were still children. "The testimonies gathered... reveal the devastating impact that sexual abuse has had on the lives of individual people," Gabilondo tells a news conference. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
