Sexual Assault by Member of the Clergy
Filed under Crime Victims, Sexual & Physical Abuse on January 19, 2011Attorney for Pennsylvania and New Jersey Victims of Sexual Abuse by a Priest, Minister, Nun, or other Member of the Clergy
Priests and other religious ministers are in positions of power and respect, most of whom use that power to help those that they serve. Some clergy members, however, take advantage of children, who are the most susceptible victims. If you or your child has been molested or sexually assaulted by a clergy member, you need to hold the sexual predator responsible for the abuse.

Take Action Against Those Who Failed to Stop the Abuse
In some cases of clergy sexual assault, bishops, archdioceses and other church officials fail to put a stop to the abuse and protect the offending clergy member from prosecution. This can not only take any measure of justice and accountability away from the victims of sexual assault but can also make it more likely that others will be similarly abused in the future.
In addition to holding the responsible predator liable for clergy sexual assault and abuse, we will also pursue compensation and accountability from those who did not protect you from assault. We appreciate how hard it can be for a victim of abuse to come forward in such a setting. We provide representation that is compassionate, understanding and dedicated to a positive resolution.
