If you were abused, the shame was never yours to carry. It belongs to the person who harmed you, and to those who knew and looked away. You don’t need all the answers. You don’t even need the words yet. What happened to you matters. And so do you. When you’re ready, BozLaw is here for you.

Heading to Michigan to help hold a church accountable for the grooming and sexual abuse committed by its founding pastor. Standing alongside survivors as they pursue truth and justice is the most meaningful part of our work here at BozLaw.

“Has your abuser told you to delete messages, photos, or any other documentation of their actions? They may claim erasing these things will protect you. Do not believe them. The only reason someone urges you to destroy evidence is to protect themselves.” bozlawpa.com/resources/do...

“Jesus did not begin with a philosophy like that of the fourth gospel, or a theology like that of Paul, but with the personal problems of fisherman and publicans, of the doubting and sinning, the good and bad.” [Francis G. Peabody]

When a child is sexually abused at a church event and the institution’s response is “we’d do nothing different” — that’s arrogance. An arrogance that protects institutions, not children.

If you were sexually assaulted in California on or after January 1, 2009, you have until December 31, 2026 to file a civil claim against the abuser and any organization that failed to protect you. If you are ready to seek justice, BozLaw is here to provide experienced, compassionate legal guidance.

“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.

“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. Contact us to discuss your legal options and do not delete anything.

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.

BozLaw @bozlaw.bsky.social · 02/09/2025
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.
021
BozLaw @bozlaw.bsky.social · 25/08/2025
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.

BozLaw @bozlaw.bsky.social · 22/08/2025
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.

BozLaw @bozlaw.bsky.social · 18/08/2025
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.

BozLaw @bozlaw.bsky.social · 15/08/2025
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.

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]

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

“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]

“Where we go to church, or whether we go, isn’t the point. The point is who are we becoming? Does church help you to become the sort of person you’d pick to be stuck on a desert island with? Good! Go! Does it hurt your chances of becoming that person? Run!” [F. Schaeffer]

Our client was grieving the death of a parent and trapped in an abusive marriage. When she turned to her pastor for help, he didn’t comfort her—he exploited her pain and sexualized the relationship. Let’s be clear: this isn’t just “inappropriate.” It’s abuse.
