“He was, and is yet most likely, the wearisomest self-righteous Pharisee whoever ransacked a Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses to his neighbors. ‘This is what can happen if we adhere to the seductive adage, hate the sin but love the sinner.’” [B. Zahnd]
A “Christian” institution that offers a whopping total of $1,400 to a family whose child was sexually victimized on its property in exchange for a full release and a non-disparagement clause is not Christian. It’s a future defendant.
“Hope for the world is not possible unless we first acknowledge that the world is a place worth hoping for.” [B. Ambrosino]
“As Jesus was born in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn; Be especially present with those who have no place to lay their head, those who are vulnerable, and those who are hungry. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.” [The Prayers of the People]
“You don’t represent the victim, and no jury will ever believe you’re speaking for one.” ~ my response after being told by a church attorney that his client had “been through a lot” after our client (and others) reported being sexually victimized by a youth leader.
Heading to Baltimore to meet with a client who was sexually abused as a minor by a church leader’s daughter—and then shamed by church leadership for years. After decades of silence, he’s finally putting the pieces of his life back together and for the first time has hope for his future.
A youth pastor groomed my client from age 16, establishing complete influence and control over her. Within days of her 18th birthday, he initiated sexual contact that continued for months. Tragically, in most states, this predatory abuse is completely lawful.
If a pastor or spiritual leader is sexting with you or has pressured you to send intimate photos, you are being victimized.

Our client was groomed and abused by her priest. When church leaders found out, she received hate mail from congregants and was banned from serving in the church. The predator priest? Simply moved to another parish.
For adults sexually victimized by clergy, the abuse is often hidden behind titles like “pastor” or “mentor.” Power disguises exploitation, leaving survivors questioning their own experiences. At BozLaw, we can help bring clarity, accountability, and a path toward healing.
We often stay silent about suspected abuse out of fear—of being wrong, losing friends, or standing alone. But silence is what allows abuse to thrive. Speaking up can expose offenders and protect lives.
Clergy abuse perpetrated against adults is often hidden under the guise of “consent,” but genuine consent can’t exist when spiritual authority is exploited over the victim.
When a pastor or priest exploits spiritual authority, it isn’t care—it’s abuse. Adults who’ve endured this betrayal often feel isolated, but you’re not alone. Your voice matters, and seeking justice is possible.
Silence about suspected abuse may feel easier in the moment, but it shields offenders and leaves victims vulnerable. Speaking up is difficult—but it’s the only way to expose perpetrators and protect those at risk.
Adult clergy abuse often hides behind spiritual language and “care.” Consent cannot exist where power and dependency are exploited. If you’re sorting through what happened, you’re not alone—and informed legal guidance can help.
A congregant is groomed and abused by her pastor. When exposed, he quietly resigns, she is blamed and the congregation is told to “focus on the future” and “trust” leadership with the past. Don’t be fooled—this is not healing, it’s ongoing abuse and a cover-up.
Adult survivors of clergy sexual abuse often struggle in silence, unsure if what happened to them “counts.” It does. Abuse of power, trust, and spiritual authority is real—and BozLaw is here to help you confront it with clarity and support.
Walking through an airport, I meet the eyes of countless strangers and wonder how many are silently carrying the wounds of sexual abuse. Let’s build a world where survivors can step forward without fear—a world that embraces, encourages, and affirms them.
It’s not an affair. It’s an abuse of power.
If your pastor, priest, or rabbi is having sexual contact with you, please contact BozLaw. You need to know your options.
Survivors of sexual abuse within faith communities deserve both compassion and justice. At BozLaw, we focus solely on representing abuse survivors seeking accountability and healing. We’re here to help you find your path forward.
Donald Trump’s vile name-calling and attacks on those seeking truth about Epstein’s crimes are no surprise to abuse survivors. Many have endured the same deflection and villainizing from faith leaders. Shouldn’t the Church be different?
Our minor client was assaulted by her church’s pastor/founder. When she bravely told his family, they replied: “I’m sorry this happened to you—he’s just old.” That excuse minimizes trauma and protects predators.
This is why we sue churches.
“Corruption is not an act but a condition, a personal and social state in which we become accustomed to living. The corrupt man is so closed off and contented in the complacency of his self-sufficiency that he does not allow himself to be called into question by anything or anyone.” [Pope Francis]
The crimes perpetrated by Michael Tait and other Newsboys associates expose a pattern of abuse that demands answers. How many victims are still suffering in silence? How many enablers turned a blind eye to protect their cash cow? julieroys.com/woman-accuse...
A pastor sexually assaults a congregant — a single mother and undocumented immigrant — then threatens to report her to ICE if she speaks out. She lives in painful silence for over four years.
This is abuse of power at its most vile.
"Abusive pastors often use counseling as a way in with the women they target...Adult abuse is easier for perpetrators to pass off as an affair, and there can be a tendency for churches not to take claims as seriously as they should." [David Pooler] t.co/m6tr0X9SEY
Adult clergy sexual abuse is an epidemic, and churches that fail to address these crimes only empower perpetrators. This article documents decades of abuse by a Lutheran pastor and the denomination's failure to stop him.
So proud of our client for stepping forward! www.jsonline.com/story/news/i...
“When the New Testament says that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, it means to say that Jesus is God‘s very style. Jesus is how God does what God does. It’s as if someone asked God, ‘What are you like?’ And God responded, ‘There once was a man from Galilee…’” [B. Ambrosino]
