Disagree with his premise. There’s probably just as many gay priests in Africa, but when kids are abused by them, they probably keep their mouths shut for fear of being called gay too (just like happened in this country for many decades). Abuse of children by adults — gay or not — is not new. It’s just that as a society we in the West are no longer willing to sweep it under the rug, and children are encouraged to speak up if someone is being awful to them (in whatever form).

I don’t think so, and for the same reason that the number of Hispanic victims in the US scandal was so low: the fathers would have a duty to kill the offender (and they would do it). In much of Africa merely a rumor of homosexuality can lead to someone being beaten or in some cases killed; they know it is not just a violation of God’s Law, but they also blame them for AIDS.
Many of the US victims had no father; chances of that in Africa are smaller as well.
