Clergy Sexual Abuse - Monday, March 16, 2009

Unfortunately, sexual abuse by church leaders and volunteers, including youth ministers and even pastors and priests, does happen. While most faithful practice what they preach, a small minority are predators who prey on the young and vulnerable. Just recently, a church counselor from a Melbourne, Florida church was accused of molesting two boys at a church group retreat in Vero Beach, Florida.

Schools, scout troops, churches, little league groups, and any other organization in which children gather are sometimes targeted by sexual predators. It is important that these organizations realize this and implement protective measures, policies and procedures to protect the vulnerable potential victims.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of sexual abuse at a school, church, youth group, athletic youth group, nursing home, or other insitution, contact CGWC for a free consultation.
