The Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal is fairly well known in the United States and now around the world. But many people don’t know how many priests have been credibly accused of child sexual abuse.
Just in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles alone, well over one hundred priests and clergy have been accused of child sexual abuse. In every one of these cases, the priest had faculties to minister in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Childhood sexual abuse incidents cause life-long trauma for the survivors of the abuse. Too many survivors have suffered and continue to suffer in silence.
The courage of survivors who have come forward has inspired and empowered others who were sexually abused by the same priest to come forward, and has helped make society safer.
Unfortunately, too many survivors continue to suffer alone, out of fear, a sense of guilt, or a sense of shame. It’s safe to say, the Church’s repeated failure to control the abhorrent acts of sexual abuse against children has thrown the lives of untold survivors and their families out of balance and often into turmoil.
Boucher LLP has been a leading advocate in California representing survivors of Catholic Church sexual abuse. We focus our knowledge and skills on holding the Church Orders and the abusers that permitted the abuse to occur accountable.
We use our knowledge, tenacity, and resources to shed light not only on the perpetrators but also their enablers who continued to expose innocent children to the clutches of known perpetrators.
This is why for over 15 years we have been highlighting and publishing the Los Angeles Archdiocese list of accused priests to the public: we want the survivors who are still out there suffering in silence to know they are not alone and have resources to turn to for help.
