If you were abused within the Mormon Church and leaders failed to protect you, you have the right to seek justice. Free, confidential case review available.
Statute Update: Many states have extended deadlines for childhood sexual abuse claims. Even if the abuse happened decades ago, you may still be eligible to file.
The LDS (Mormon) Sexual Abuse Lawsuit involves survivors who allege the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints failed to report, prevent, or properly handle sexual abuse within its congregations, youth programs, and missionary system.
Many victims suffered in silence due to fear, shame, or the church's internal culture of secrecy. Today, survivors are filing lawsuits nationwide—finally demanding accountability for decades of cover-ups.
You may qualify if the abuse occurred in any LDS setting or involved church leadership/members, such as:
Decades-Old Abuse?
Survivors from the 1960s through the 2020s are filing claims. Many states allow older cases to proceed.
Lawsuits allege that the Church prioritized its image over the safety of children. Key evidence supporting these claims includes:
Whistleblowers claim the church's helpline advised leaders to contact church attorneys first—often directing them not to report abuse to police.
In some states, the church has used clergy-penitent privilege laws to argue they were not legally required to report confessions of abuse.
While no amount of money can undo the trauma, compensation can provide the resources needed for healing.
