The abuse by priests was actual sexual abuse, the study your catholic blogger quotes considers the following as sexual abuse... In the study you cite, these are the criteria for sexual abuse...: Pretty mild shit in comparison.... Eighth through 11th grade students in the sample responded to a survey administered by trained interviewers during English classes. The survey asked students about their experiences of various forms of sexual harassment or abuse in school using the question below. Students responded to each of the 14 types of sexual harassment listed below by selecting one of the following frequencies: “often “occasionally,” “rarely,” “never,” or “don’t know.” The 14 stems were developed by an advisory panel of experts in the field of sexual harassment and correspond to behaviors that legally constitute sexual harassment, abuse, or misconduct. The question focuses on experiences that occurred in school. The gating question asked students to respond to each type of behavior, no matter who the abuser had been. Follow-up questions for each of the behaviors identified the role of the abuser (student, teacher, other school employee, etc.) and the place where the abuse occurred. The question asked students 8th to 11th grade was: During your whole school life, how often, if at all, has anyone (this includes students, teachers, other school employees, or anyone else) done the following things to you when you did not want them to? • Made sexual comments, jokes, gestures, or looks. • Showed, gave or left you sexual pictures, photographs, illustrations, messages, or notes. • Wrote sexual messages/graffiti about you on bathroom walls, in locker rooms, etc. • Spread sexual rumors about you. • Said you were gay or a lesbian. • Spied on you as you dressed or showered at school. • Flashed or “mooned” you. • Touched, grabbed, or pinched you in a sexual way. • Intentionally brushed up against you in a sexual way. • Pulled at your clothing in a sexual way. • Pulled off or down your clothing. • Blocked your way or cornered you in a sexual way. • Forced you to kiss him/her. • Forced you to do something sexual, other than kissing. For each behavior the respondent identifies as having experienced, she or he is asked a series of follow-up questions, including the role of the offender (student, teacher, counselor, etc.), where the incident took place, and when the incident happened. All analyses of these data are based upon the stems above, which constitute civil and criminal definitions of sexual abuse and harassment
