Swedish Catholic priest victim steps forward 67 years after abuse.

• Children abused by Swedish Catholic priests
• Vatican knew about Norwegian bishop abuse
• Child porn websites to be blocked in the EU

One of two people who this week reported abuse by Swedish Catholic priests told media Wednesday he had not dared say no when he was sexually molested in a Catholic-run foster home in 1943.

"I was forced to masturbate him in his room on the second floor. A foster child doesn't dare to say no in such a situation," the man, whose name was not given, told daily Dagens Nyheter (DN).

"Afterwards he washed himself with soap. I can still smell it today," said the man, who was a teenager at the time of the abuse.

"These things have to be brought out into the open keeping in mind everything that took place all over the world for years and years," he insisted.

The man told DN he had only been abused that one time, but had finally decided to come forward "to make it known that these types of things happened even in Sweden."

Sweden's Roman Catholic Church said Tuesday it had received reports of two cases of child abuse by its clergy.

"Both cases involve events that date far back, and it is the victims themselves who contacted" the diocese, it said in a statement.

DN reported the other victim was a woman who suffered abuse in the 1960s.

The Swedish abuse cases are the latest of a series of such incidents, after similar scandals in the churches of Ireland, Austria, the United States and Pope Benedict XVI's native Germany.
