A Rhode Island Attorney General report details allegations that a Catholic priest used his access to a young patient at Butler Hospital to begin a pattern of s*xual abuse. The allegations raise serious questions about how vulnerable children were supervised and who was permitted access to them while in institutional care.

For survivors of abuse connected to hospitals, schools, religious organizations, or other institutions, accountability may extend beyond the individual accused of abuse to the organizations responsible for supervision and safety.

Rhode Island’s current civil window for child s*xual abuse claims remains open through June 2028. Read more about the allegations, Butler Hospital’s role, and what survivors should know: https://hermanlaw.com/butler-hospital-named-in-child-s*xual-abuse-allegations/

On September 30, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell released her office's report on child s*xual abuse in the Catholic Dioceses of Worcester, Springfield, and Fall River. The report identifies 275 accused clergy and 944 survivors across the three dioceses.

Much of this abuse can't be criminally prosecuted, either because the conduct wasn't a crime when it happened or because the statute of limitations has expired. Civil options are limited too. Under current Massachusetts law, survivors can file civil claims only until age 53, and the state's charitable immunity cap has been $20,000 since 1971.

Amendment 110, now in conference committee as part of S.3141, would remove both barriers. Our latest blog explains what the report found and what survivors should know. Learn more: https://hermanlaw.com/massachusetts-clergy-abuse-report/

If you or someone you love was s*xually abused as a child by clergy or within a Massachusetts institution, you may have legal options. Contact Herman Law for a free, confidential consultation.

We’re deeply grateful when a client takes the time to share what their experience meant to them.

In this heartfelt note, E.S. reflected on the trust, care, and sense of protection she felt throughout the legal process, and the impact Jeff Herman, Blake Woodhall, and the Herman Law team had on her healing journey.

It is a privilege to stand with survivors as they seek justice and accountability. We never take that trust for granted.

In 2016, three alumnae of Rocky Hill School in Warwick, RI came forward with allegations of s*xual abuse by a former faculty member dating back to the 1970s. Their accounts followed a wave of abuse allegations at other New England prep schools, which led the school to reach out to its community for information.

Rhode Island's revival window, open through June 30, 2028, may give survivors of institutional s*xual abuse a chance to pursue civil claims that had previously expired due to the statute of limitations. It does not matter how old you are or how long ago the abuse occurred. If you or someone you love was s*xually abused in Rhode Island, you may have legal options.
