Clergy sexual abuse is a deeply traumatic experience that can leave lasting emotional, psychological, and physical scars. In California, survivors of such abuse have legal options to hold perpetrators and institutions accountable. Our team is ready to advocate for survivors of California clergy sexual assault and to help you or your loved one navigate the legal system, securing the justice and compensation every survivor deserves.
California Clergy Sexual Abuse Claims
If you or a loved one has experienced clergy sexual abuse, you are not alone. In fact, as recently as October 2024, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to pay $880 million to hundreds of victims of California clergy sexual abuse dating back many years, according to the Associated Press.
That settlement involved 1,353 people who alleged that they were abused by local Catholic priests. The outlet cited it as “the largest single child sex abuse settlement with a Catholic archdiocese, according to experts.” Previously, the same Archdiocese paid $740 million to victims.
Sexual assault of any kind is devastating and unacceptable. When it’s at the hands of a trusted religious or spiritual figure, it can be especially difficult to process the abuse and heal. Our firm understands the sensitive nature of these cases and approaches them with compassion, discretion, and determination, all with the aim of helping you or your loved one heal and to see justice served.
