Belgian prosecutors on Tuesday said they had opened a judicial
inquiry after a fresh claim of sexual abuse in an institution for
children run by nuns.
The latest probe follows a claim by a 63-year Belgian man to have been the target of sexual abuse in the 1950s in the Sint-Vincentius de Halen orphanage in the northeast region of Limbourg. A separate inquiry was opened earlier this month after claims of abuse several decades ago in a school run by nuns at the other end of the country, in northwestern Courtrai.
