Benedict XVI's brother 'was aware' of abuse of more than 200 boys over a decade: lawyer
smh.com.au
At least 231 children who sang in a boys' choir led for 30 years by the brother of former Pope Benedict XVI were abused over a period of almost four decades, a lawyer investigating reports of wrongdoing has said.
The lawyer, Ulrich Weber, who was commissioned by the choir to look into accusations of beatings, torture or sexual abuse, said he thought the actual abuse was even more widespread.
At a news conference in Regensburg, Bavaria, where the choir traces its roots to the year 975, Weber estimated that from 1953 to 1992, every third member of the choir and an attached school suffered some kind of physical abuse...
Asked whether Benedict's brother, the Reverend Georg Ratzinger, who conducted the Regensburg choir from 1964 to 1994, had known of the abuse, Weber said, "After my research, I must assume so."
