“We’re all a part of a club that none of us want to be a part of.”
The one-year lookback window under the Child Victims Act is now officially open, and we’re already learning of hundreds of lawsuits filed against churches, schools and various other organizations throughout New York State.
On Tuesday, attorney Steve Boyd, who represents numerous victims of child sex abuse, announced that his law firm is filing 83 lawsuits against the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, and 30 against the Rochester Diocese on Wednesday.
“It’s a big day – important day,” said Boyd. “But, it’s a day that comes to us because of a lot of suffering.”
On this day, it’s really all about the abuse victims and survivors who were brave enough the share their stories so that justice may yet be served.
