SCOTLAND
The Sunday Mail

THE leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland failed to alert police after 19 priests were accused of being paedophiles.
A damning document obtained by the Sunday Mail reveals how bishops in Scotland's eight dioceses did not call in detectives to probe sex abuse against the priests.
Most were allowed to continue in their posts or relocated to other parishes.
The bombshell report reveals 19 Scottish priests were accused of abuse between 1985 and 1995.
Only one was convicted after police were alerted by his bishop. Victims complained to police about nine of the other 18 but the church failed to inform the authorities about any.
