Rhode Island Clergy Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are reviewing Rhode Island child sexual abuse lawsuits against the Roman Catholic Church, including claims involving the Diocese of Providence, Catholic parishes, Catholic schools, religious orders, priests, deacons, brothers, nuns, parish workers, and other Church-connected adults.

These claims are not just about what an individual abuser did. The real question is whether the Diocese, a parish, a school, a religious order, or Church leadership knew enough to stop the abuse, warn families, remove the abuser, report to police, or protect children, and failed to do so.

Rhode Island has now opened a two-year revival window for Rhode Island childhood sexual abuse claims that were previously blocked by old filing deadlines. This is a major development for survivors of Catholic clergy abuse in Rhode Island. The window was opened after years of survivor advocacy, the Rhode Island Supreme Court’s decision in Houllahan v. Gelineau, and the 2026 Rhode Island Attorney General report on the Diocese of Providence.

2026 Update #1: Rhode Island Opens Sexual Abuse Revival Window

Rhode Island has now opened a two-year revival window for civil childhood sexual abuse lawsuits. Governor Dan McKee signed the legislation on June 11, 2026, and the window runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. This is the most important Rhode Island sex abuse statute of limitations development in years because it gives survivors with previously expired claims a new opportunity to sue not only perpetrators, but also institutions and supervisors accused of enabling, concealing, failing to report, or negligently supervising the abuse.

San Diego Juvenile Hall Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at civil lawsuits for victims of sexual abuse at San Diego juvenile detention centers.

San Diego juvenile halls are at the center of a troubling investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against minors who were detained at the facility. Survivors have come forward with reports of sexual exploitation, misconduct by staff members, and a pervasive culture of sexual abuse that was allegedly ignored or covered up by those in power. These allegations are part of a larger pattern of sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system, where vulnerable youth are too often subjected to harm by the very individuals entrusted with their care.

We think San Diego will be the next California juvenile hall sex abuse settlement domino to fall. Our lawyers talk about this, and the San Diego juvenile hall settlement amounts we expect to see in these lawsuits, below.

Camp Barrett Juvenile Hall Sex Abuse Lawsuit Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Camp Barrett was a juvenile detention facility operated by the San Diego County Probation Department and located in Alpine, California. It was meant to serve as a rehabilitation program for boys placed in custody by the juvenile court system, many of whom were minors with no history of violence. But for some of the youth sent there, Camp Barrett became a site of profound trauma from physical and sexual abuse.

Camp Barrett sex abuse lawsuits involve allegations that staff members sexually abused boys in their custody, taking advantage of the facility’s isolation and lack of oversight. The reports describe a system that did not simply overlook warning signs but created the conditions that allowed abuse to occur. Officers had access to children in private spaces, complaints were ignored or never documented, and leadership failed to act despite indications of misconduct.

Instead of safety and rehabilitation, these boys were met with exploitation. And the very institution responsible for their care, the San Diego County Probation Department, now faces serious questions about how this abuse was allowed to continue unchecked for years.

Maryville Academy Sex Abuse Lawsuits: Updates & Deadlines

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Maryville Academy sex abuse lawsuits involve allegations that boys and other vulnerable children placed at the former Catholic-run youth facility in Des Plaines, Illinois, were sexually abused by clergy, staff, or administrators who should never have had access to children.

For years, Maryville Academy was presented as a safe haven for vulnerable children. It was supposed to be a place where at-risk youth could receive care, education, structure, and spiritual guidance. Survivors now describe something very different: abuse, ignored complaints, institutional silence, and a failure by church and facility leadership to protect the children in their care.

The Maryville Academy scandal is not just about individual acts of abuse. It is about an institution that allegedly enabled, protected, or failed to stop abusers while vulnerable children were under its control. Recent allegations involve multiple priests and administrators associated with Maryville Academy, with claims reaching back to the 1980s.
