Representing Adult and Child Victims of Sexual Assault, Abuse, and Exploitation Against Religions Institutions Across the Country

We seek out our religious leaders to offer comfort, support, and moral guidance. Their role in our society as trusted friends, confidants, and advisors makes the betrayal all the greater when they use their power and trusted status to hurt our children. At Carter Law Group, we fight to ensure that each and every child molester and sex abuser is held accountable for their actions.

It is often particularly daunting for these survivors to come forward due to the overwhelming cover-up culture within these religious organizations. The organization structure of many religious organizations has allowed these abuse, assault, and rape allegations to be concealed, protecting the church, protecting the assaulter/abuser/rapist, and completely dismissing the survivor.

This behavior often retraumatizes and revictimizes the survivor over again, intensifying their psychological and mental injuries. Carter Law Group attorneys are trained to avoid retraumatization triggers and do everything in their power to make our clients feel as comfortable with us as possible.

Signs of Child Molestation

Children being sexually abused by religious leaders often don’t come forward easily. Below are some red flags that may signal that your child is being sexually abused by a religious leader or member of your church:

Unwillingness to attend services, or to attend classes or functions held by or at the institution
Withdrawn behaviors around the religious leader
Physical injuries or illnesses
Depression
Trouble eating and/or sleeping

Statutes of Limitations in Child Sexual Abuse Cases

With more and more states passing laws extending statutes of limitations—the time period in which you must file a lawsuit—the deadlines to file cases are constantly evolving. Act quickly and contact an experienced sexual crimes attorney at Carter Law Group to discuss your legal options today.

Religious Organizations Accused of Child Sex Crimes

While abuse within the Catholic Church is often widely publicized, the Catholic Church is one of many, many religious and spiritual organizations which are tainted by widespread sexual abuse.

In recent years, a number of large religious organizations have been accused of sex crimes, including Southern Baptist, United Methodist, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Church of Scientology.
