The District of Columbia U.S. Attorney’s Office Victim Witness Assistance Unit and the D.C. Superior Court Division’s Sex Offense and Domestic Violence Section are launching a hotline and email for survivors of child sexual abuse by clergy to report the crimes.
U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu on Monday announced that victims or people with knowledge of incidents involving sexual abuse by clergy can contact the newly formed Clergy Abuse Reporting Line at 202-252-7008 or email USADC.ReportClergyAbuse@usdog.gov.
A group of criminal investigators, prosecutors and victim advocates from the Superior Court Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office will review any information provided and decide if the provider can be given victim services or criminal charges can be issued.
