There have been a number of Catholic sex abuse cases in New Zealand, all linked to Catholic schools. __NOTOC__ ==Cases== The first recorded case was in 1900. Allegations of cruelty toward children residing at the Stoke Industrial School, (also known as St Mary's Orphanage) instigated a Royal Commission and the eventual prosecution of two Marist Brothers. Edouard Forrier, ( Brother Wybertus) was charged with five counts of common assault and five counts of indecent assault. The alleged incidents occurred between September 5, 1893 and June 1, 1897. 〔(The Stoke School Scandal ), ''New Zealand Herald'', Vol. XXXVII, Issue 11483, 21 Sept. 1900, 6.〕 Marist Father Alan Woodcock, abused children at St John's College in Hastings, St Patrick's College in Upper Hutt, Highden in the Manawatu and Futuna in Wellington. After Woodcock left the Marist Priesthood and left New Zealand to live in England, he was extradited back to New Zealand and convicted of 21 sex offences committed between 1978 and 1987. The abuse continued despite the knowledge of Father Michael Curtain and Father Fred Bliss. Tracking him down abroad was done with the assistance of the Sisters of St Joseph of Nazareth. John Louis Stevenson (known as Brother Bernard) and Brother Andrew Cody of the Hato Paora Māori Boys school in Feilding were convicted of sexual offenses and jailed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catholic sexual abuse cases in New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
