Find Out If You Qualify
State Attorneys General in Maryland, Illinois and DC have recently uncovered reports of sexual abuse of at least 2,500 more children by over 500 priests and church officials since 1940.

Nationwide, at least 25,000 people have reported being abused or molested as children at the hands of church officials in that time. And, the number of unreported cases could be much higher.

Investigators have accused senior church officials of covering up complaints, protecting abusive priests and coercing victims into silence. And, although they’ve fought to limit the amount of time victims have to file claims, the church has now paid out more than $3 billion to those affected. 

Those who suffered abuse or molestation have legal rights and can seek compensation. If you or a loved one were among the thousands of victims, you may qualify.
