In a 2023 report released by the Illinois Attorney General, investigators found evidence of pervasive sexual abuse committed by priests and clergy members across the state, as well as systemic failures within the state’s Catholic dioceses to protect children and stop abusive clergy.
Now, survivors are stepping forward to seek justice and hold the Catholic Church accountable for its inexcusable failures. Our Illinois Catholic Church abuse attorneys are actively reviewing cases from survivors who may have sexual abuse claims against any Catholic diocese in the state.
