One of the most senior members of the Catholic Church in Australia has stepped down from his role after being charged with child sex abuse, the Church said on Monday.

Max Davis, who heads the church’s military diocese, is reportedly Australia’s most senior clergyman and the first Australian Catholic bishop to be charged with a child sex offence.

It is alleged he sexually abused a student while teaching at St Benedict’s College near Perth in 1969 — two years before he was ordained.

No further details were provided by police.

1. Silence is collusion. Go after the accessories after the fact, too.

One lone instance of abuse, back in 1969? I don't believe that for a second.
