Clergy Abuse Lawsuit
File your claim today!
Clergy sex abuse is the abuse of minors perpetrated by religious officials such as priests and deacons. In reality, child sex abuse by clergy members is an institution-wide abuse scandal involving sex crimes that will impact survivors their entire lives. The child survivors who suffered sexual assault should have been protected by the institutions that claimed to have their best interests at heart — but for thousands, this was not the case. Many religious institutions have been able to commit abuse for decades because predators have not been held accountable. Instead, the abusive church leaders were protected by their supervisors and institutions. This means that although churches and other organizations were typically the first to know about acts of abuse, they permitted it to continue with little or no consequences.
If you or someone you love experienced childhood sexual abuse by clergy members, we encourage you to take action.

Clergy abuse is particularly complex and sinister, especially given that it involves layers of relational betrayal, manipulation, and sexual exploitation. Children and young adults who spend time in temples, churches, mosques, and other religious groups are often taught by family members to respect priests, ministers, and other leaders, and many parents are shocked to find that their religious leaders have taken advantage of this trust and committed horrible abuses, such as:
- Statutory rape
- Sexual threats
- Sexual harassment
- Sexual assault/rape
- Molestation
- Lewd, lascivious sexual acts
- Indecent exposure
- Inappropriate touching
- Exposure to pornography or other explicit materials
- Creation of pornographic materials during abuse
