Make Them Pay
Latter Day Saints
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, more widely known as the Mormon Church, is the fourth largest Christian denomination in the United States, comprised of over 16 million members. While the Church promotes Christ-like ideals such as faith, charity, and love – hundreds of men, women, and children have stepped forward with claims of sex abuse they experienced within the Church.
One of the essential teachings of the faith is forgiveness. Followers and victims of the Church are told to forgive those who have done them harm, instead of seeking justice. This inaction by church leaders excuses the actions of the perpetrator, and often lets the abuse continue without penalty. Not only is the way forgiveness taught within the denomination harm the victims, but helps the Church protect its reputation.
Child sex abuse can have detrimental effects on one’s life and shatter one’s faith. If you experienced sex abuse within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, contact us for a free and confidential consultation.
Royal Rangers
The Royal Rangers is an activity-based youth program for boys in grades K-12. According to its website, the program’s mission is to “evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of Christlike men and lifelong servant leaders.” Unfortunately, The Royal Rangers also has a history of sexually abusing children within the program.
Experiencing sex abuse as a child can have lasting physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. Some may not realize the abuse until years after the fact or may not report the abuse for various reasons – including fear of retaliation. Filing a claim cannot take away the pain that is caused by sex abuse, but it can help provide the next step towards healing, including financial compensation.
If you or someone you love has suffered abuse while enrolled in The Royal Rangers program, contact us for a free case review.
Dr. David Broadbent
Dr. David Broadbent, an obstetrics and gynecology specialist, practiced in the Provo area for nearly 40 years, serving thousands of patients during that time. Dr. Broadbent has also been accused by dozens of women, claiming sexual battery and abuse while under his care while receiving pelvic exams, pregnancy exams, and other routine appointments.
All patients are entitled to healthcare that is free from physical and emotional abuse. Most importantly, all patients deserve a safe and trusting relationship with their healthcare provider, which Dr. Broadbent failed to provide. Instead, he violated the sacred trust his patients put in him and left numerous women with psychological and physical trauma.
If you or someone you know were abused by Dr. Broadbent – you are not alone. We believe you, and we are here to help.
Redlands Unified School District
Located in a small suburban community east of Los Angeles, CA – The Redlands Unified School District has an enrollment of roughly 21,000 students, and a 20-year history of sexual abuse and coverups. Numerous students and former students have stepped forward with their stories with claims of molestation, rape, and grooming by teachers and staff.
The Redlands Unified School District has a responsibility to provide a safe learning environment for their students. The school system failed to protect the children from predators within their own staff, shielding their own reputation with their inactions.
If you or someone you love was abused by a staff member while attending the Redlands Unified School District, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, and medical bills. While the abuse you suffered cannot be undone, our compassionate team of attorneys will fight to get you justice.
The Thacher School in Los Angeles
The Thacher School is an elite private boarding school right outside of Los Angeles, California in the Ojai Valley. It was founded in 1889 as an all-boys school, with girls first being admitted in 1997. The Thacher School is the oldest co-educational boarding school in the state, but it comes with a long history of sexual abuse and misconduct allegations.
The Thacher School recently released a blowout report, citing dozens of alleged sexual misconducts, including rape, harassment, and attempts to cover abuse incidents, spanning over 40 years. Our team believes that not only individual perpetrators should face consequences for their actions, but all complicit parties are responsible and should pay for allowing the abuse to occur.
If you have been sexually abused at The Thacher School, the abuse is not your fault. [We] will fight for you to get you justice, and to hold all parties accountable.
Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health
One of the largest behavioral health organizations in The United States, Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health specializes in the treatment of behavioral, mental, and developmental health needs in youth. The organization is based in Pennsylvania and has facilities in several states across the country.
In recent reports, it was alleged that the organization has had a pattern of abusing children and covering up incidents for over 25 years. A facility that was designed to help youth overcome their traumas had instead contributed to hurting children, both physically and emotionally.
If you or someone you loved experienced abuse as patient at a Devereux facility, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, and more. We know how difficult it can be to step forward with your story – we’re listening, and we believe you.
Every state has different guidelines on how long you have to file a claim. Contact us, and our dedicated team of attorneys will help you navigate the options available in your state.
MacLaren Children’s Center
Located in Los Angeles County, The MacLaren Children’s Center was an institution for children without a home, often waiting to be placed in foster care. At any given time, the property housed hundreds of children, with tens of thousands of children calling the building home over the years.
The facility officially shuttered their doors in 2003, after a class-action lawsuit exposed decades worth of neglect and abuse. Many children who lived at the center experienced overcrowded and filthy living conditions, lack of support, and were overly or unnecessarily medicated. Some reports of abuse included being beaten by staff, rape, and other forms of physical and sexual abuse. Children who had already developed emotional trauma by being forced from their homes, were being retraumatized.
Even though some time has passed since the notorious building shut down, the harm that was caused at The MacLaren Children’s Center cannot be taken away. If you experienced physical or emotional abuse at the MacLaren Children’s Center – we will fight to get you the justice you need, as well as the peace you deserve to move forward.
Colorado Center for the Blind
The Colorado Center for the Blind is a non-profit organization designed to help blind individuals lead independent lives with proper training. After an investigation by The Colorado Sun, the now-infamous center has also become known for sexual abuse allegations that were kept quiet for decades. Among the allegations are rape, molestation, and failure by staff to respond to claims of sexual misconduct.
Blind individuals may be perceived as an easy target by abusers, and it’s the responsibility of the institution to keep them safe. Victims may be scared to step forward with their story in fear of retaliation by staff or losing their housing and other valuable resources.
Catholic Church/Priest
The largest branch of Christianity in the world, the Catholic Church is comprised of over 1.3 billion followers. While the religion promotes the moral teachings of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church has become known, on a global scale, for decades worth of child sex abuse, scandal, and coverups.
Predatory Catholic Priests and clergy members violated the sacred trust and faith that was put unto them, sexually abusing hundreds of thousands of children worldwide. In response to the abuse, the Catholic Church helped protect pedophiles within their ranks over the vulnerable children they were morally obligated to protect.
The trauma that comes with being sexually abused within the Church can be devastating to one’s life and even shatter faith. While the abuse you endured cannot be undone, there is hope to receive compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and mental anguish.
If you or a loved one was abused by clergy of the Catholic Church – you are not alone. Our compassionate and dedicated team of attorneys will fight to get you the justice you deserve.
