by Jose Belo and Tjitske Lingsma

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) at the Vatican has dismissed Richard Daschbach from priesthoodafter accusations that he sexually abused children who were inhis care in Oecusse, Timor-Leste. This was confirmed to Tempo Timor by Father Jovito Rêgo de Jesus Araújo, Episcopal Vicar for Pastoral Care of the Diocese of Dili. It is the first time that a case of sexual abuse of minors by a member of the Catholic clergy has come to light in Timor-Leste. Daschbach confessed his crimes to his congregation Societas Verbi Divini (SVD, Society of the Divine Word), but then went back to his community where he allegedly committed the abuse.

DILI – According to the IFJ South East Asia Media Freedom Report 2018, claiming that Timor-Leste is among the seven countries in the region is considered the best place for journalists, but the biggest threat journalists noted in terms of the creation of a strong media in Timor Leste was chronically low wages. Out of 12 listed threats, almost half nominated poor wages and working conditions as the single biggest threat to their craft.
