Absolutely, it's across all denominations. In Australia, our last Governor-General was an Anglican Archbishop. He eventually had to resign from office because it became clear he had helped to cover up sexual abuse in an Anglican school while Archbishop of Brisbane. This is a big deal - no previous Governor-General had had to resign so this was very high profile.

But still some sections of the community try to present this as a Catholic issue.

And apparently no worse (or better) in any particular one. That being said, the hierarchical churches whose higher-ups shuck and shuffle and hem and haw over the problem are rightly seen as more culpable than one-off evangelical churches because they have a structure that can deal with the problem and kick out the b@st@rds, but refuse to use it.
