Without providing details, I will tell you that you are totally wrong.

If he had not blown his head off with a shotgun my stepfather and his activities that led him to doing it rather than face prison tell a different story.

Both male and female were affected, and yes they fit within the age ranges you seem to have a problem with

Very strange response you make in my view, very telling really

I'm sorry for the nightmare that your family endured.

Of course, there are plenty of female victims, but the John Jay Report was very specific about who was abused by Catholic priests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay_Report

The victims were 81% male, and over 70% of those abused were between 10 and 15. The vast majority, but not the entirety, of the abuse was of post-pubescent males.

If you object to my saying that the mother should not have been worried for her daughter, I accept the criticism as correct. I retract the statement. It just seems too typical for the press to avoid mentioning that the victims here were male, while mentioning the at-risk daughter.

Not at all. The vast majority of these cases are homosexual assaults. My Boy Scout scoutmaster did jail time for his sexual assaults on my friends. It is what it is and the statistics are undeniable. That you are trying to minimize the facts at hand is “very telling really.”
