Revealed: How paedophile priests in Victoria worked together to share victims

Some of the Catholic church’s worst paedophile priests shared victims, passed on details of vulnerable children considered easy targets and worked together to conceal their crimes as part of informal networks of sexual abuse hidden in Australian seminaries, schools and parishes.

Russell Vears, now known as Russell Walker, on Monday, says he cannot remember an incident where he brought a boy to the Catholic seminary to be abused by another priest. “There were two or three others that would come around too,” the victim told police. “One priest used to come over and sit by the pool and tell me and my brothers to get naked and jump up and down.”investigation, based on a deep-dive of church documents provided to the Royal Commission as well as current and former court cases and dozens of interviews, confirms religious predators were not just shuffled around from parish to parish but some priests also colluded with each other.

The issue is contentious for the church, which has for years played down the prevalence of such groups in its ranks. When Pell was asked during the Royal Commission why there had been “so many child sex abusers aggregating in Ballarat East in the 1970s” he dismissed it as a “disastrous coincidence”. In evidence that networking between abusers could also cross borders, Pickering took the victim to Adelaide to dine with another group of paedophiles and their chosen “boys”.

It sickens me to death how these people are allowed live I was interfered with as a 9 year old by a catholic cousin. In my 60’s now I’ll never forget. Hiding behind God is the absolute lowest. Exterminate exterminate exterminate. Don’t deserve to live !!!

Nothing but rock spiders I’m not a catholic but this is so low and depraved again it’s a portion that spoil it for the many my bro was a Cub Scout that was later infiltrated by a leader who did spend time in prison once conviyand dishonourably discharged by military

When will someone investigate the pope

Revealed: How paedophile priests in Victoria worked together to share victimsA Catholic priest left a 14-year-old boy in a seminary common room with several other boys before another priest came and 'selected' him for abuse, an explosive new statement of claim says Sounds about right for the church, I mean, didn’t the make believe Jesus feed 100 people with just bread and fish? Perhaps that was code for something. I wonder if Joyce and Abbott will get on a soapbox about this. How dare they call themselves servants of God, whether you are religious or not this is the worst crime imaginable. Name them, shame them, send them to jail for a long time. This is 'killing' a child without actual murder, vile.
