Paris:  The head of an independent enquiry into child abuse in the French church said Tuesday that there might have been up to 10,000 victims since 1950.

Jean-Marc Sauve said that a previous estimate from the independent commission of 3,000 victims "is certainly an underestimate."

"It's possible that the figure is at least 10,000," he added.
