That stuff got changed in the 90s church by church, but most sex abuse scandals that we hear about now occurred before then. The parish I grew up in was a victim of Father Geoghan but by the time I became a altar server, (And I was the first and only female altar server for the parish at the time) he was no longer there.
Next wave of sex abuse cases are incoming and yes its the girlies.
