Unfortunately, new claims of sex abuse against #clergy members are coming to light every day. We are grateful to have such brave clients that trust us to help them through such a difficult process.
COURT TV covered the lawsuit we recently filed against Sting, The Police, and their touring company.
Our client alleges Sting raped her after a concert in Arizona when she was just 15 years old. Last year the Arizona State Legislature passed a new bill that strengthens protections for survivors of child sexual abuse by extending the time victims have to pursue civil action against perpetrators.
