California enacted Assembly Bill 218, which opened a limited \u201clook-back window\u201d on January 1, 2020, in which childhood sexual abuse survivors can pursue claims that had been previously time barred. Due to this newly enacted law, survivors of clergy abuse have the opportunity to seek justice for the abuse they suffered.\u00a0 This window closes soon on December 31, 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Survivors of clergy abuse will not be silenced. Our attorneys are listening. If you would like to learn how we use the civil justice system to hold clergy and churches accountable for their abuses, please contact us for a free consultation today before the window closes.<\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#606060″ background_color=”gcid-240a9ec6-8ca4-46e7-b795-ccc98c8b36c4″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-b3bc4740-83c0-49fc-94f2-b1bc7d48ace9%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-240a9ec6-8ca4-46e7-b795-ccc98c8b36c4%22:%91%22background_color%22%93,%22gcid-546ba48d-cfd8-4b8f-9a94-622a690b5247%22:%91%22link_text_color__hover%22%93}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” link_text_color__hover=”#ffaf02″]<\/p>\nPublicly Accused California Priests<\/span><\/h2>\n
