The Roman Catholic Church has dealt with sexual abuse allegations for decades. In the United States alone, more than 6000 Catholic priests have been accused of child sexual abuse.
The abuse claims have led to thousands of clergy abuse lawsuits, settlements and payouts for survivors. In total, the Catholic Church has paid more than 3 billion dollars to abuse survivors.
Under Connecticut Law the relevant statute allows most claims to be brought within 30 years of reaching the age of majority or to age 48 because most child/minor victims have difficulty in coming forward with such terrible claims.
If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual abuse by a priest please call me right away to see if I could help.
