‘TRUST HAS BEEN BETRAYED’: SALVATION ARMY
The Salvation Army Commissioner feels “shocked, ashamed and aggrieved” at sexual abuse within the organisation.
A Salvation Army officer who admitted to sexually abusing an eight-year-old girl was allowed to return to the organisation and rise through the ranks, the royal commission has heard.
The Commission also heard the Salvation Army took a ”largely litigious approach” towards victims of physical and sexual abuse, especially those who sought compensation.
