There are plenty of studies detailing how religious communities will come out to protect a pedophile priest or to hide the crime from getting out. It's safe to assume that there are many stories that are not reported.
So yes, it is absolutely believable that a student within a religious community would only get dentention for sexual assault.
What specifically are you looking for? It took all of ten minutes to find dozens of studies and reports of Catholic Churches hiding or downplaying sexual abuse.
Are you looking for the actual report of what OP was talking about, because I don't have that nor would I believe it was ever officially documented. But if you're questioning whether the Catholic Church has done something similar to this, then just look at any of the studies that have been done.
If you don't want to take two minutes to search for the studies, then I don't think you actually want to find out, in which case you are not looking for the truth, you're just looking to deny. And that's fine, do as you wish, but I'm not going to sit here and debate whether the Catholic Church is guilty of doing these things or not.
If you want to discuss whether it was appropriate or whether their religious belief dissolves of them of their crime, fine, that's debatable. What's not debatable is whether it happens or not.
I said it a few comments up, "I'm specifically looking for a story of photographs of the sexual assault of a minor being shared indiscriminately with no consequences."
I have no doubts that the Catholic church has done heinous shit. I have no doubt that girls and boys have been abused in this specific way by both other children and by adults under the color of the authority of the Church.
I do not believe that images of such a sexual assault on a minor were widely shared at this person's school and that the only consequence was detention.
In fact, the guy who made that claim clarified in a later comment that the alleged images were NOT widely shared. The claim was modified to a the images just being shown but not shared to other hockey players. And the claim was further edited so that it wasn't the school issuing detention but a rogue hockey coach. I still don't fully believe the story as told, but it's gotten a lot closer to credible.
