Richard Daschbach iswas convicted in Oecussi District Court on charges of having sexually abused many underage Timorese girls over decades while he was running the Topu Honis orphanage in Oecusse, Timor-Leste. Daschbach, who came from the USA as a priest nearly fifty years ago, was defrocked by the Catholic Church in 2018 after he admitted the abuse during a Church investigation. The case, the first against a (former) priest in Timor-Leste, has become politicized, and misinformation has been widely circulating over social media. In 2022, information came to light about abuses committed by former Timor-Leste Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo, and we have included some articles about responses to his alleged crimes. La'o Hamutuk condemns sexual abuse of all kinds, and we support victims of such crimes. |
