Last year I started a series called "Victims, Lawsuits and Justice," in response to a high-profile suit won by a victim of child sexual abuse involving the Boy Scouts and the Mormon Church. On January 17, I will resume the series. If you missed the earlier segments or would like to review them, click on these links:
Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
As I prepare to resume this series, a similar case is in the local news, that of a victim who won a suit and as of several years later, still has received none of the awarded damages. In response, his attorneys involved in the original case are being sued. Regardless of whether this case includes Christian organizations, it brings up some of the points raised in Part I: What is our responsibility as believers and as a society to those who have been sexually victimized under the watch of spiritual authority?
