Faith should be a source of comfort, not pain. But for too many survivors, their abuse happened in the very place they were told was safe — a church, synagogue, mosque, or religious school.
At GOLDLAW, we stand with survivors of clergy abuse and religious institutional betrayal. We believe no one — and no institution — is above the law.
Abuse in Sacred Spaces Is a Unique Betrayal
Religious abuse is especially devastating because it violates the deepest trust:
- Children abused by clergy they were taught to revere
- Adults manipulated through spiritual control or “counseling”
- Congregants silenced by fear of damaging the church’s image
- Survivors dismissed, blamed, or ignored by leadership
Often, these institutions have known about abuse for years — even decades — and done nothing.

Who Can Be Held Accountable?
In civil cases involving religious abuse, liability may extend beyond the abuser. We help survivors file claims against:
- Churches, dioceses, or religious orders that concealed abuse
- Schools or camps operated by religious organizations
- Supervisors or boards who enabled repeat offenders
- Insurance carriers that funded cover-ups or paid hush money
