Mormon Church Sexual Abuse Lawyers:
Justice for Survivors
The Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) built a reputation based on faith, family, and community. That trust was shattered with hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse — committed by leaders, clergy, and members in positions of authority. Instead of protecting the survivors, the LDS church covered it all up, choosing to protect the perpetrators.
When survivors came forward, many were intimidated into silence. Church leaders discouraged reporting to law enforcement. They transferred known abusers to new congregations, and routed abuse disclosures through legal departments rather than counseling resources. Reputation came first. Survivors came last.
Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against the LDS Church nationwide. Private settlements are being reached — some exceeding $1 million — and more survivors are coming forward every day.
You may have a case if you or a loved one were sexually abused within the Mormon Church — even if it happened decades ago.
You may have a case if you experienced:
- Sexual abuse or assault by a bishop, elder, or other church member
- Grooming or exploitation within a church setting or activity
- Abuse connected to a church-affiliated Boy Scouts troop
- Reports of abuse that were ignored, dismissed, or covered up by church leadership
- Retaliation, threats, or spiritual coercion after speaking up
- Abuse that occurred during private “worthiness interviews” conducted by LDS church leaders

Frequently Asked Questions
The statute of limitations defines how long you have to file a claim. That deadline varies by state. Many states have recently extended filing deadlines for childhood sexual abuse (CSA) survivors. You should speak to a lawyer to determine what filing deadline applies to your situation.Can I sue for sexual abuse in the Mormon Church if it happened decades ago?
Yes, if your state has a “look-back window” or revival statute. These specific laws temporarily reopen the door for survivors of historical abuse to file a claim, even if the original deadline passed years ago.
No. You can file a civil lawsuit even if you never contacted the police or filed a report. Civil claims and criminal cases are separate legal paths. While a police report is sometimes used as evidence, it is not required to hold the LDS Church accountable for institutional negligence or to seek a settlement for your recovery.
Yes. Courts regularly allow survivors to file under a pseudonym — such as “Jane Doe” or “John Doe” — to protect their identity. Dolman Law Group pursues every available legal protection to keep your name and personal details confidential throughout the entire process. Your privacy is our priority from the very first conversation.
No. Civil cases rely heavily on testimonial evidence. Many sexual abuse cases proceed successfully based on the survivor’s testimony, witness statements, and psychological records documenting the long-term impact of the abuse.
The Church is responsible for the people they put in positions of trust and power over children, regardless of whether those leaders were paid or “lay clergy.”
Survivors may be entitled to compensation for therapy and ongoing mental health treatment, medical expenses, lost income or earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Unlikely. Most civil cases resolve through settlement — meaning you may never have to appear in court or speak publicly about what you experienced. If your case does proceed to trial, Dolman Law Group will prepare you fully and fight to protect your dignity at every stage. You will never face this process alone.
The first step is a confidential conversation with our legal team. You do not need to have all the answers before you call — and you do not need to be ready to share everything right away. When you are ready to talk, we are ready to listen. Call Dolman Law Group at (833) 552-7274 for a free, no-obligation consultation. There is no cost, and nothing you share will leave that conversation without your permission.
