Scranton Clergy Sexual Abuse Lawyer
It is abhorrent to think that a man of the cloth, especially a priest trusted with counseling and providing moral guidance to troubled youth, could commit such a vile act as sexual abuse. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Attorney Jonathan Comitz of the Comitz Law Firm is dedicated to protecting the rights of children who have been sexually abused by pastors, priests, preachers, and other members of the clergy, and will maintain your child and family’s confidentiality.
Recently, the Diocese of Scranton sought the help of its parishioners in the investigation of a priest accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy on September 19.
A letter seeking help from the church community, written by Bishop Joseph C. Bambera, was read during Sunday Mass at parishes where the accused priest served. The priest has served at many Northeast PA parishes, including Bear Creek, Exeter, Hazleton, and Wilkes-Barre.

Comitz Law Firm will fully investigate your claim and the circumstances surrounding your abuse. As was typical in the Catholic Church sex abuse cases, high-ranking officials who had knowledge of the sexual abuse taking place did nothing about it, and created an environment that encouraged and allowed abuse to flourish. Comitz Law Firm will work with a team of investigators to closely examine who knew, or should have known, about the sexual abuse taking place, and ensure that those individuals and parties are held accountable.
