It is clear that the statistics used by the Catholic League in regards to Catholic Priests are clearly low. The Review Board found that 4.3% of Catholic priests were credibly accused of abuse.
There is no similar baseline for other denominations nor other occupations.
It is likely that all figures presently avaialable are lowball figures, since, like rape, sexual abuse is underreported by children.
