The head of the royal commission into child sexual abuse, Justice
Peter McClellan, has referred 2,025 incidents of abuse to authorities
since 2013, provoking 127 prosecutions to date.
McClellan will share the figures at the National Council of Churches conference in Melbourne on Tuesday via a video address. He will tell the conference the volume of referrals was so great that there may be further prosecutions once they had been fully assessed by police.
