Catholic Priests, Pastors, and Clergy Members in San Francisco, California, Are Now Held Accountable For Abuse

It is now coming to light that thousands of young boys and girls suffered terrible abuses from Catholic priests and institutional leadership in positions these victims should have been able to trust–physical and sexual abuses that went largely unreported for decades or more.

San Francisco, California, victims and their families are encouraged to file court cases requesting compensation because many of these San Francisco religious institutional leaders were aware of these rampant abuses and elected not to report them to authorities.

Over 6,800 members of the Catholic Church have been accused of abuse of young boy and girl members dating back several decades, with perpetrators going largely unnoticed just to save the reputation of the Church and avoid legal processes.

Many of the adults responsible were hidden from identification and, once their crimes came to light, were passed on to areas such as San Francisco, California, only to repeat their abuses over and over again.

Victims abused by these San Francisco, California, religious institutions are urged to request a free, private case evaluation by a qualified attorney, with the possibility of filing a claim that could include compensation.

Now is the best time to take action because:

  • Church and organization leadership are more ready to reveal abusers
  • Many victims are given the opportunity to tell their stories
  • The statute of limitations have been lifted in many cases

While there’s no way to know for sure just how many San Francisco, California priests are accused of abusing young victims, new reports from a variety of credible news sources are bringing the issue to light.

NBC News has revealed several shocking statistics in reports on the issue:

  • Dioceses and religious orders so far have revealed more than 5,100 clergy members are involved to various degrees
  • The AP revealed that nearly 2,000 who remain alive to determine where they have lived and worked
  • Hundreds of those on the list still hold positions of trust with access to children–and, there are 76 on that list who could not be located
  • Around 1,700 priests and other clergy members are living with little to no oversight from religious authorities or law enforcement

The Washington Post revealed that, “Sexual abuse is notoriously under-reported, especially when the victims are children unaware, or not fully cognizant, that what they have experienced is a crime.”

We believe that the young boy and girl victims of San Francisco, California, priests and institutional abuse should have the right to face these abusers and get compensation and justice.
