If you have been sexually abused by a Catholic priest – or anyone else working in the Diocese of Orange – you may have an opportunity to seek justice and compensation due to a new victim compensation fund created by the Diocese of Orange. Horowitz Law is now evaluating legal claims for anyone sexually abused by anyone associated with the Diocese of Orange. Contact us today at 954-641-2100 or reach out online to learn more. California Lawmakers recently passed a “window” during which the statute of limitations is temporarily suspended for all cases against the Diocese of Orange, but you must act soon. A short “window” of time, as it is often called, will allow anyone sexually abused as a child in California, including by Diocese of Orange priests and other employees, to file lawsuits against their perpetrators and the institutions that protected and enabled the abusers. This is the case even if the statute of limitations ran out a long time ago. The window is now open but will only be open for a very limited time. Once the window has expired, many clergy sexual abuse claims will be forever barred. Therefore, it is very important that you contact us today to determine your legal options against the Diocese of Orange and anyone else who has hurt you. Through our own investigation, our team has identified 76 clergy in the Diocese of Orange who have been publicly accused of sexually abusing minors. Truth is power. Through our own efforts, our lawyers have compiled what we believe is the most comprehensive list of priests and brothers accused of sexual abuse of minors who have worked in the Diocese of Orange, and the list is expected to grow as more survivors come forward to speak their truth. So far, we have identified a staggering 76 clergy who worked in the Diocese of Orange who have been publicly accused of sexually abusing minors.
