New York Catholic Priest Abuse Attorney

Catholic Priest Abuse Lawyer in New York

For many years victims of sexual abuse at the hands of members of the Catholic priesthood have largely suffered in silence the shame, humiliation and other devastating effects of this horrific crime.  This unfortunate situation, however, was brought to light in recent years with major media attention as a wave of brave victims exposed their accused abusers and sought justice and compensation for their pain and suffering.  

Many support groups, organizations and legislators have since helped to create an environment that is far more open to allowing victims to address and communicate this crime.  Despite this effort, studies indicate that only 10% of all sexual abuse victims report these crimes to authorities. If you or someone your child was a victim of sexual abuse by a member of the Catholic priesthood, please know that you're not alone and that you don't have to suffer in silence.  Contact a knowledgeable and experienced  New York sexual abuse lawyer right away.

About Catholic Priest Abuse Attorneys in New York

According to the American Medical Association, victims of sexual abuse are more likely to experience chronic depression, low self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, drug and alcohol abuse, thoughts of suicide and serious psychological disorders like multiple personalities.  Some sexual abuse victims can even become perpetrators, creating a cycle of abuse than can destroy families and ruin lives.  Efforts are being taken to address victims of these crimes in New York, including The Child Victims Act, which you can learn more about at the NY Coalition to Protect Children's website.

Despite these efforts, however, the high numbers of unreported sexual abuse crimes continues to shield predators from prosecution and justice.  Don't let this happen.  Stop the cycle of abuse.  If you or someone you love is a victim of abuse, contact a Catholic priest abuse attorney at Franks LLC immediately.
