Church abuse reports say nearly 11,000 complaints since 1950

By Rachel Zoll
The Associated

WASHINGTON — A panel of prominent Roman Catholics rebuked U.S. bishops today for failing to stop widespread clerical sex abuse over the last half-century, calling the leaders' performance "shameful to the church."
The comments came as the National Review Board, a lay watchdog panel formed by the bishops, issued two highly anticipated studies documenting the molestation problem from 1950 to 2002.

One report is the first church-sanctioned tally of abuse cases: It found there have been 10,667 abuse claims over those 52 years. More than 80 percent of the alleged victims were male and over half said they were between ages 11 and 14 when they were assaulted.
