Clergy

Experienced Litigation for Victims Nationwide

The role of religious leaders is to provide moral guidance. However, many of these leaders are making headlines for being involved with countless acts of sexual abuse against innocent victims. Even after uncovering poor behavior, certain religious organizations do nothing to change their policies. If you or a loved one has suffered sexual abuse or molestation by a clergy member, you are entitled to compensation for mental anguish, medical bills, and other damages.

Sexual Abuse Among Religious Groups

The Catholic Church has been rocked by numerous claims of sexual misconduct from priests and other leaders. More than 6,000 priests have been blamed for heinous actions and have paid over $3 million in settlements. Each day, new stories and cases are brought forward.

Other religious denominations have also been accused of negligent practices against children. Certain religious groups form communities that are havens for sexual misconduct. Many of these cases are due to the fact that volunteers are not screened properly. Half of all sexual molestation cases involve volunteers who work with children.
