The Impact on Victims

The betrayal associated with church leaders sexually abusing children within the church shatters the trust of the victims, their families, and the entire congregation. Such acts of abuse leave lasting scars on the survivors and instill a deep sense of betrayal in the hearts of the parishioners. The youth minister, a figure expected to guide and protect, instead becomes a source of pain and trauma. Thus creating a ripple effect of distrust and disillusionment. Addressing these betrayals requires holding the perpetrator accountable. Our lawyers are uniquely qualified to obtain that justice for victims.

Can a Civil Lawsuit Help Victims Seek Justice for the Trauma They May Have Experienced By Robert Morris or Virgil Larson?

Legal action can help survivors hold institutions that may have enabled or failed to prevent the abuse accountable for their actions. Therefore, allowing victims to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and psychological harm they have endured.

Additionally, these lawsuits contribute to raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual abuse and fostering a culture that prioritizes the safety and well-being of individuals over organizational interests. As a result, survivors gain a platform to share their experiences.  Thereby challenging the culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse and empowering others to come forward.
