Sexual assault victims often experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as Rape Trauma Syndrome, which is characterized by recurrent nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive memories, social withdrawal, psychic "numbing", sleeping difficulties and problems concentrating.

Representing Victims of Sexual Abuse in Religious Organizations

Sadly, the recent sexual abuse scandals in the Catholic Church have shown that some religious organizations are primarily interested in protecting their image. Instead of expelling clergy members who are guilty of sexual abuse, some religious groups harbor them. Instead of reporting the abuse, some church groups conceal the situation, fearing that it will harm their good name. In essence, they shelter child molesters, enabling them to victimize other children. At the law firm of Hartley Hampton, we are committed to ending these horrible practices.

Standing up for the rights of victims of sexual abuse in church and other religious organizations

Coming forward and reporting childhood church abuse is an act of courage. This act can help you take steps toward closure. A lawsuit can help you gain compensation for the pain you have suffered, and provide the financial resources you need to seek the medical and therapeutic support to help you move forward with your life.

Reporting sexual abuse that occurred in a church, Sunday school or any other religious setting can help prevent another child from suffering what you have been through. A lawsuit can hold the individuals responsible for their criminal actions, and make the public aware of potential cover-ups. A successful lawsuit can expose the secrets.

We are prepared to take on the responsible clergy member, as well as their religious organizations if they have sheltered clergy members engaging in abuse. Harboring abusers is utterly despicable. These organizations are trusted by countless people. If that trust has been betrayed, they must be held responsible.

We have more than 30 years of experience standing up for the rights of victims. In that time, we have learned the value of providing personal care and compassionate attention in every case. We are here for you. We are available to help people in and around Houston, Texas and nationwide. For a free consultation, email us or call us toll free at 1-866-635-0811.
