Cop slams child sex 'epidemic'
AUSTRALIA
THE NSW Police Commissioner, Ken Moroney, has called for a summit to address the problem of child sexual abuse, which he has likened to an epidemic.
Mr Moroney told The Sunday Telegraph he was sickened by the daily reports that crossed his desk.
As of last week, NSW police were investigating 650 cases of sexual and physical abuse of children under 16, he said.
And that was just "the tip of the iceberg".
"I don't think we really know the extent or scope or magnitude of this problem."
