Sexual Abuse in Baptist Churches
Pedophiles occupying positions of authority within any church (Baptist or otherwise) often use that status to convince children, and sometimes even full-grown competent members of the congregation, that touching, fondling, or having oral sex or sexual intercourse with them is okay — that God has somehow sanctioned it.
God does not.
At the Law Office of Robert D. Kizer, we help people who have been sexually abused by sexual predators in Baptist churches, Catholic churches and in churches of other denominations as well. We help them pursue criminal justice in appropriate cases. We help them pursue justice and compensation through civil justice system as well. In short, we are willing to go to any lengths we legally can to end the cycle of abuse.
You couldn't then. Now you can. Take action to stop the cycle of child sex abuse and call or contact our offices in Austin, Texas, to schedule a free, confidential consultation with attorney Robert D. Kizer.
Protecting Your Religion and Protecting Others
Whatever your religious beliefs, they're a very important part of who you are. We understand that and also understand that you may have some misgivings or even feelings of guilt when you think about pursuing legal action against a church leader such as a pastor or even the church itself.
Instead, we would encourage you to think of it in the following way. What would be more damning and damaging to the faith you hold dear — acknowledging the abuse and seeking compensation (thereby encouraging the church to make positive changes and preventing others from abuse in the future) or allowing the sexual abuse you experienced to continue happening to others and to become an even bigger scandal?
More importantly, stepping forward can finally allow you to get the help and resources you need to move past the abuse and start living a healthier future.
