Church Sexual Abuse Lawyer San Diego

For more than years now, countless cases have come to light involving serious allegations of sexual abuse occurring in Catholic churches. Over the years, more and more priests have been exposed as being involved in sexual abuse of young members of numerous parishes. What’s even more troubling is the fact that for most of the past years, the Churches knew that sexual abuse was occurring. In one case, the Church was aware of well over 100 complaints about just one priest, but didn’t act on those. Instead, that priest was moved from one church to the next, while the complaints against him became more and more prevalent. The effects of the sexual abuse on the victims are often severe. Many victims feel shame, guilt, and dysfunction in both their emotional endeavors and social situations. While nothing can undo the painful abuse that has occurred, victims can still file a lawsuit against priests and the Church in order to recover damages for the abuse. This more flexible standard was enacted in order to accommodate those with repressed memories. All in all, it is clear that the legislature wished to make laws that would allow for those victims of sexual abuse to file claims, even if the abuse happened years earlier.
