    Seems like that stat about priests is mostly true, though hard to be sure of anything because only 1 in 10 incidents are reported.

    I’m seeing numbers like 2-3% of men have committed child sexual abuse, and possibly 4% of priests. However the number of victims might be significantly higher for priests as they are encountering far more children.
