A sexual abuse victims network is alleging that nuns have been raping children within the Catholic church and getting away with it for decades in what they say is a scandal as big as that of pedophile priests.
In the last week alone, dozens of people have come forward to report being sexually abused by nuns as children to SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
They have told how they were targeted by the women while being cared for in orphanages and schools over the last 50 years.
Among the alleged victims are women in their 60s and 70s who are telling their stories for the first time now.
