Warwickshire victim welcomes UN order on abusive Catholic priests

A woman from Warwickshire who was abused by a Catholic priest has welcomed an order from the UN today, that the Vatican should remove priests suspected of abuse from parishes, and hand them over to police.

Sue Cox, from Gaydon, gave evidence at the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child which has been investigating abuse by Catholic priests.

Today the committee ordered the Vatican to hand over archives concerning abuse by priests.

The Vatican said it was committed to protecting children.
