The exposure of widespread clerical abuse in the Catholic Church has given victims of sexual violence in the home the strength to speak out, activists have claimed.

Six out of ten men and women attending the One in Four charity were assaulted as a child by a trusted family member or neighbour.

The organisation was founded to respond to abuse suffered in institutions, churches or schools but the charity said more than 60% of clients are now people who were abused by a trusted adult or teacher.
