Child Sexual Abuse Is the Most Frequent Loss at Religious Institutions

Child sexual abuse is all too prevalent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, sexual abuse affects 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys in their childhood. Religious

institutions, which commonly rely on volunteers and hold a high degree of trust, are

especially susceptible to allegations of child sexual abuse. In many cases, the abuser is in

a respected position, such as a leader whose authority a child would be hesitant to question.
