For a conservative estimate, six perpetrators(who have been convicted) had five victims each a year for an average of 25 years each. That right there can quickly get you to 750. Unfortunately, I think that is probably an underestimation.

If you count each of the boys in Cullen's 250 photographs as individual victims, the total of directly attributable and documented victims of paedophiles with Celtic FC/Celtic Boys Club connections is 285.
Total number of convictions is 55 - and that's not counting the convictions that will arise from P1 and P2 upcoming trials.
