The sexual abuse of children in church-run schools continues to outrage the Australian community. But as an overwhelming number of priests, brothers and lay teachers are convicted of these heinous crimes; even more survivors, knowing they are not alone, are finding the strength to come forward with their own stories of abuse, demanding accountability from their abusers and the church.
Porters Lawyers have acted for more than three hundred men and women throughout Australia who have found the courage and strength to come forward, sometimes many years after the abuse.
