FILE - In this Aug. 14, 2018, file photo, victims of clergy sexual abuse, or their family members, react as Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro speaks during a news conference at the State Capitol in Harrisburg, Pa. Pennsylvania Roman Catholic dioceses are facing recent lawsuits from people hoping a court decision in 2019 has shown a way around time limits for filing litigation.
Lawyers involved in the litigation say they were still getting notified about new cases on Thursday and expect dozens more.issued exactly two years ago that documented seven decades of child molestation within the Catholic church in Pennsylvania. State civil litigation rules generally require legal action to be initiated within two years from when someone realizes they’ve been harmed.
The Associated Press typically does not name people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they want to be identified, and Rice has indicated she does. Bodziak has previously denied the allegation, and his lawyer did not return a message left Thurdsay.
“Who knew, before the release of that report, of the conspiracy within each of the dioceses in Pennsylvania, indeed the entire church, to cover up the child sex abuse crisis?” Serbin said. “So it was only upon release of that information that the people I’m representing … became aware of the crisis and the fraud that had been committed.”that gave Rice, now 52, the ability to sue for abuse she said occurred for several years when she was a child, ending in 1981.
always when money is involved
Just a sampling of the evil in religion
The Catholic Church in the meantime was handed $1.4 BILLION of our tax money, successfully sued in court to siphon off tax money intended for public education and are begging to be handed even more tax money to save their bankrupt schools. And they are upset over broken statues.
Hey didn’t pa vote trump ? Go figure it’s full of child rapists
Francis should abdicate for a successor
String ‘em up!😡
To abuse people in the name of religion is disgraceful!!!!
The largest organization dedicated to child rape the world has ever known. And still not being held accountable for their actions.. What will it take?
The beat goes on unabated!
I remember when they were saying goth kids were blood thirsty satan worshippers. This right here is the true face of evil.
Just take a moment and think, why this “news” rolled out today?
Like bad employees of other organizations. The Church neeeds to own the responsibilities of those that committed the acts of betrayal against their parishioners. If the state lets them get away with it because of a time limit then justice will never be served.
I read that around 10,000 priests have been accused of over 40,000 molestations.
Well aren't y'all soooo perfect without me huh
Jared Kushner is in charge of corona virus fraud scam.
Organized religion is often organized abuse savethechildren.
Sickness at holy places, who can you trust no one I guess.
Joe Biden reassures Church? My VP stated...No Priest will be convicted.
Imagine if the systemically racist justice system had pursued these child rapists as vehemently as they pursue traffic violations by minorities...
Even though the priests and other highly ordained persons are human and are bound to temptations, they should have self control and stay and practice the same word that they preach to the people. Hope they find justice.
The church gets free money from their sheep suckers. Anyone can file a fake claim and the church will hand out a check to silence people, whether true or not. Cities do the same for police abuse claims with taxpayer money.
OMG this is real News people.
You mean they want to get out of their responsibility?
The sooner these monsters, and the church that covered it up, are brought to justice, the better.
