Kentucky Lawyers Fighting Sexual Abuse by Clergy and Other Caregivers
When people in positions of trust abuse their power, the results can be devastating for the individuals, families and communities affected. No matter what form it takes, sexual abuse should never be tolerated. If you or a loved one has been sexually abused by a caregiver or member of the clergy, you have every right to be outraged and to demand that something be done to prevent this from happening again.

Please Don't Feel Ashamed — It's Not Your Fault
Sex abuse cases are very high-profile; the news media regularly reports cases of children being abused in orphanages, church schools and school buses. Anyone who sexually abuses children or adults must be stopped. Even if the adult is a person you thought you trusted, they must not be allowed to prey on the innocent.
We understand the challenges in cases of abuse by clergy or a trusted medical caregiver and we understand your desire for privacy. Be assured that we use the utmost discretion in order to protect you and your loved ones from the media spotlight. Sexual abuse cases involving the church can often be mediated and settled out of court in order to avoid unwanted media attention.
There Is Hope
If sexual abuse by a clergy member or medical caregiver has forever changed your life, please know that there is hope — you can move on and become stronger. By exposing the abuse, you won't feel powerless anymore. You can reclaim control of your life and begin the process of healing. By speaking out, which takes courage, you may very well prevent someone else from being abused by the same person.
