BELGIUM-RELIGION-PAEDOPHILIA-CHILDREN-TRIAL

Rik Deville (R), former priest of the association for Human rights in the church, sits during a trial at the Gent justice palace against the Catholic church for sexual abuses on May 21, 2013. Victims in different cases of sexual abuse where the wrongdoer was related to the church, filed a complaint against the Church for the stance taken in the cases. The Belgian Roman Catholic Church said on May 15, 2013 it had received more than 300 complaints of sexual abuse of minors in 2012. Three quarters of the 307 dossiers opened were in northern Flanders, the staunchly Catholic Dutch-speaking and larger half of Belgium.
