United States seems to have the best records... just under 5,000 clergy have been accused of some form of sexual abuse spanning the years 1952 to 2012. Around 50% of those have been convicted or if dead, believed to have been culpable. During that period 102,000 clergy were part of the 'system' for want of a better word - 4,392 have been accused of abuse.

From Wikipedia... 'In A Perspective on Clergy Sexual Abuse by Thomas Plante, a psychiatrist specializing in abuse counseling and considered an expert on clerical abuse, he states "approximately 4% of priests during the past half century (and mostly in the 1960s and 1970s) have had a sexual experience with a minor." According to Newsweek magazine, the figure is similar to that in the rest of the adult population.'
