At least 10 more people have come forward claiming to have been abused by Catholic priests during their time at boarding schools during the last century, the Volkskrant reports on Tuesday.

Last weekend, the NRC and Radio Netherlands published a report claiming at least three priests at the Don Rua boarding school in ‘s-Heerenberg had been involved in abusing pupils. Now a string of Catholic boarding schools and seminaries across the country are being named, the paper says.
All the cases involve people saying they were raped or otherwise abused as children some 40 to 50 years ago.
On Wednesday, church officials are due to meet to decide whether or not to launch a wide-scale investigation into the claims. The Catholic church confederation counts some 190 different religious orders and congregations among its members.
At the weekend, the bishop of Rotterdam Ad van Luyn has called for an inquiry into the possible sexual abuse of children at the Don Rua school.
