California Sexual Abuse Attorney

Sexual Abuse in Religious Institutions

Wherever there are adults in positions of power and authority over children, the potential for sexual abuse lies.  There are millions of adults who are honorable and praiseworthy in their selfless acts to promote education and stability in the lives of children across the country.  However, in religious situations, there have been an overwhelming number of reports of sexual abuse and sexual assaults within these communities.  Sexual abuse in various religious and spiritual groups and associations has shown itself to be present.

Priests, pastors, ministers, deacons, rabbis and other spiritual leaders of many different denominations have been accused of sexual abuse against minors in their care.  When a spiritual minister is put in a position of authority of a group of young adults, adolescents or children, the results can be devastating if that individual is a pedophile or sexual predator.  Unfortunately, many of these abusive situations go unreported.  Pedophiles are cunningly manipulative in their behavior.  Not only will they take great pains to get themselves placed in areas where they have access to children, they will also take any steps necessary to stop those abused children from telling or reporting the criminal abuse.
