With sexual abuse of minors, you’re dealing with predators who find the most vulnerable young children that they can, and engage in the most heinous type of behavior and sexual abuse that you can possibly imagine. I can’t tell the stories, because they’re so profound. And people need to understand this: any time you have a number of children, you have the risk of sexual abuse. When we look at priests, doctors, teachers, coaches, mentors, I don’t care what area you’re talking about. Churches, Hollywood, local schools, those are the places that are the most dangerous.

It’s amazing to me the strength that many people are able to find when they ultimately face that darkness that they have held onto for so many years, held onto in silence. And ultimately, realize that there are other people out there, other survivors, that they can turn to, and that they can share those experiences with.

Los Angeles, CA complex litigation attorney Raymond Boucher talks about the conditions in which sexual abuse of a minor typically occurs. He explains that the sexual abuse of minors involves perpetrators who target the most vulnerable children and engage in unimaginably heinous acts of sexual abuse. The stories and experiences are so deeply disturbing that they are difficult to articulate. It is crucial for people to recognize that the risk of sexual abuse exists whenever there is a group of children involved. Whether it is within the context of priests, doctors, teachers, coaches, mentors, or any other profession, the danger persists in places such as churches, Hollywood, and local schools.

What never ceases to amaze me is the incredible strength demonstrated by many survivors when they finally confront the darkness they have silently carried for years. They discover that there are others who have gone through similar experiences, providing them with a support system and an opportunity to share their stories.
