Catholic Clergy Sexual Abuse in California
One of the most heinous betrayals of a parent's and a child's trust lies in the religious leader who would sexually abuse the sons and daughters of a congregation.

Were you or a loved one sexually abused by a priest in California?
Sexual abuse comes in many different forms. Some individuals suffered an uncomfortable situation only once. Some were forced into twisted "relationships" with their clergyman. Some were abused over the course of days or weeks, and others over years. It is impossible to name the vast array of highly inappropriate and criminally illegal activities that could possibly occur between a child and an adult. As more survivors come forward to tell their stories, light is shed on an area that was once covered up by some and denied by others.
There are many California dioceses in which priests have been accused of numerous counts of sexual abuse and misconduct throughout the years. If you have been sexually abused by a member of the California Catholic priesthood, please contact one of our attorneys as soon as possible. We can help you.
