Sexual
Assaults by Clergy
The prosecution
and conviction of the former priests John Hanlon and John Geoghan
both of whom served in St. Paul's parish in Hingham, MA. have prompted
numerous civil actions against the Boston Archdiocese. Over 200
civil lawsuits have already been settled for over $10,000,000.00
. Many believe this is just the tip of the iceberg of abuse by priest's
who have preyed upon innocent children and hidden behind a conspiracy
of shame and deceit.
Civil
Suit time limitations:
Child victims
generally may bring claims until they are 21 years of age or 3 years
after the abuse, whichever is later. There are important exceptions
however that may allow you to enter a claim much later.
In Massachusetts,
victims of childhood sexual abuse involving the rape of a minor,
a criminal charge may be brought as late as fifteen years from the
date of the rape.
Our attorneys
have already represented young victims of priest abuse.
