Latin America begins feeling ripples of clergy sexual abuse crisis

...........
Experts say sexual abuse of minors is widespread in Latin America, partly because of overcrowding in homes, where male and female family members of different ages often share beds. Pan American Health Organization studies of children and adolescents found that 32 percent of girls and 13 percent of boys in Costa Rica and 26 percent of girls and 20 percent of boys in Nicaragua reported having been victims of sexual abuse.

LIMA, Peru - As clergy sex abuse scandals in Europe made headlines worldwide, bishops in Latin America expressed support for Pope Benedict XVI. But observers say it is just a matter of time before the upheaval that has struck the United States and Europe hits Latin America.
A few cases of sexual abuse of minors by clergy already have surfaced. The most notorious is that of Father Marcial Maciel, founder of the Legionaries of Christ in Mexico, who died in 2008. Other cases have emerged in Argentina, Brazil and Chile, but there have been no widespread accusations.
Recent cases in Europe, and accusations that top church officials did not react quickly or strongly enough, have made headlines in Latin America, however, and observers say the region is not immune to the problem.
"Latin American countries are likely to have the same or more conflicts in this area as the rest of the world," said Jose Maria Poirier, editor of Criterio, a Catholic magazine published in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
