Spanish Catholic bishops find evidence of 728 sexual abusers, 927 victims since 1945

Spain's Catholic bishops conference has revealed that 728 alleged sexual abusers were identified through the testimony of 927 victims.
More than 50% of offenders were said to be priests and over 60% were already dead.
The data was collected in some 200 offices for the protection of minors, set up by the church around Spain in 2019, but El Pais reports that the real figures of abuses within the church are likely much higher, as the church report only referred to cases recorded since 2019 and did not include the number of cases the church was aware of before that date.
