If You or a Family Member Were Sexually Abused by Illinois Priests or Clergy, Justice and Compensation May Be Available

A comprehensive investigation by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul exposed the true extent of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church:

  • The Catholic Church failed to report hundreds of known abusers.
  • Church leaders protected clergy instead of victims.
  • Many survivors' allegations were dismissed or ignored.
  • Abuse occurred across all six dioceses in Illinois, including Chicago, Rockford, and Peoria.

Illinois Priest and Clergy Sexually Abused Children: What Every Family Should Know

The revelations of widespread sexual abuse within the Catholic Church have devastated communities worldwide—Illinois is no exception. A recent Illinois Attorney General investigation uncovered that 451 clergy members sexually abused nearly 2,000 children across the state between 1950 and 2019 (AP News).

Many survivors have suffered in silence, unaware of their legal rights. If you or a loved one were abused by a priest or clergy member in Illinois, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact us today for a free, private case evaluation to explore your options.

A Widespread Crisis: The Shocking Scope of Clergy Abuse in Illinois

The Illinois Attorney General's report confirmed what survivors have long known: the Catholic Church failed to protect its most vulnerable members. The investigation found:

  • 451 clergy members are credibly accused of sexual abuse.
  • Nearly 2,000 victims have been abused over the past 70 years.
  • 74% of allegations were dismissed or ignored by church officials before 2018.

Despite these horrifying numbers, experts believe the real toll is even higher. "Until 2018, Illinois dioceses deliberately kept known abusers hidden and refused to acknowledge survivor accounts," said the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) (AP News).

Illinois Clergy Abuse Cases: Recent Allegations and Investigations

The crisis continues today. Recent cases include:

  • Rockford Diocese Investigation: Former Boylan Catholic High School priest Father Matthew DeBlock is under investigation for sexual misconduct with a minor (WIFR).
  • Chicago Archdiocese Scandal: Newly ordained priest Father Martin Nyberg is being investigated for alleged child molestation during confession at a confirmation retreat (OSV News).

These cases highlight ongoing risks and the need for accountability. Survivors deserve justice; our legal team is ready to fight for their rights.
