I know for a fact that this is a problem across the board where religious leaders have that access to kids, access to that kind of trust, and the ability to use the religion to cover up their 'sins'.
Of course, it is only a small minority of religious leaders (priests, reverends, elders, ministers... etc.) that do this. For example the Jehovahs Witnesses have had many cases of covering up child molestation... it is a problem of the organized religions wanting to keep their problems hidden, to deal with these situations internally. The people at the top of these religions may not realize it, but this practice is very damaging to the victims... and worse, it keeps those people in a position to harm more children.
