The report was prepared by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University from responses sub- mitted by all but one of the 195 U.S. dioceses and Eastern Cath- olic dioceses and 156 of the 218 religious orders of the Confer- ence of Major Superiors of Men. Seven of the allegations involved children under the age of 18 in 2010. Two-thirds of the alle- gations occurred or began between 1960 and 1984, the report said. “Alleged offenders increased by one-fifth, from 286 alleged offenders reported in 2009 to 345 alleged offenders in 2010,” CARA said. The costs associated with child sex abuse in 2010 was $123.7 million for U.S. dioceses and $25.9 million for religious orders in 2010, bringing to nearly $2.7 billion the amount spent by the U.S. Catholic Church to address clergy sex abuse since 2004.
