Have you been sexually abused by someone in your community?
If you were sexually abused by someone holding a position of trust at a religious or community organization, you may be entitled to financial compensation. We are holding institutions accountable for their role in enabling these horrific acts.
In recent years, legal cases involving sexual abuse have skyrocketed. Many of these predators are highly respected among members of their denominations and places of worship, allowing them to easily gain the trust of families and community members. To make matters worse, the organizations they are associated with often protect the predators with lies, denials, and cover-ups.
Turning a blind eye to this behavior makes these organizations complicit and they need to be held accountable for this.
Churches and Dioceses
Another religious institution, The Southern Baptist Church, which is the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., has had over 700 victims come forward to report their abuse over the course of 20 years.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), or as it is most commonly referred to the Mormon Church, has also been plagued by sex abuse allegations.
If you were sexually abused by someone any priest or church official, you may be entitled to compensation. Speak with one of our female attorneys or paralegals today.
A ProPublica database lists 6,754 clergymen as “credibly accused” of sexual misconduct as of January 28, 2020. This kind of abuse is not limited to Catholic Church clergy, and we are taking cases against many different denominations and religious organizations.
Hospitals and Other Medical Settings
Doctors occupy a position of great trust and responsibility, but some have grossly abused their privilege to harm patients. They take advantage of the fact that their patients are unaware of proper medical procedures and examinations and use their profession as a cover for their heinous actions.
The former team doctor for USA Gymnastics, and physician at Michigan State University, Larry Nassar, was responsible for the sexual assault of more than 150 women.
That is just one of hundreds of cases against medical professionals who abused their position and the dignity of their patients. The medical professionals and the institutions that enabled them must pay reparations for this abuse.
Prominent Individuals
Outside of community organizations, there are also instances where predatory individuals use their social status and power to take advantage of the vulnerable.
Jeffrey Epstein used his wealth and luxurious lifestyle to lure victims. He sexually abused more than 80 people, some of them young girls.
