Florida Clergy Abuse Attorney
Catholic Priest Sexual Abuse in Florida
In the United States, there have been over 10,500 claims of abuse against more than 4,000 Catholic priests between 1950 and 2002. In Florida dioceses alone, over 75 members of the clergy have been accused of sexual abuse and tens of millions of dollars have been distributed in settlement agreements to survivors of that abuse.
Many Florida residents of the Catholic faith have come forward to accuse priests of sexual abuse in all dioceses and the archdiocese. With this amount of widespread molestation and depravity among the ranks of the clergy, you could expect that there could possibly be many more survivors of abuse who have never made claims.
