New Orleans Clergy Abuse Settlement: $305 Million for 600 Survivors — What It Means and What Comes Next You have been carrying this for a long time. Maybe decades. Maybe you were a child in a parish school in Orleans Parish, or an altar server at a church across the river in Jefferson, or a kid in a Catholic youth group in St. Tammany — and the person you were taught to trust most in the world used that trust to destroy part of you. You may have told no one. You may have tried to tell someone and been shut down. You may have spent years believing it was your fault, or that no one would believe you, or that the law had already closed the door because it happened too long ago. Then you read that roughly 600 survivors of clergy sexual abuse in New Orleans are in line to receive $305 million. That the archdiocese — the second-oldest Catholic archdiocese in the United States, founded in 1793, anchored by the St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter that has stood through two centuries of Louisiana history — filed for bankruptcy protection in May 2020 because the weight…

Massena, New York Clergy Abuse Bankruptcy Claims: The Ogdensburg Diocese Chapter 11 Process, Child Victims Act Rights, and What Your Claim Is Worth If you are reading this at 2 a.m. — carrying something you have carried for years, maybe decades — here is what we want you to know before anything else. It is not your fault. It is not too late. And you do not have to do this by yourself. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg — the institution that oversaw Trinity Catholic School in Massena and every parish and Catholic school across New York’s North Country — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy because 138 people came forward and filed lawsuits saying they were sexually abused by clergy and staff within the diocese’s care. One of those survivors, who says the abuse began when he was six years old, now chairs the court-appointed committee that represents all 138 claimants in the bankruptcy process. He stood in a federal courtroom in Albany and told a judge what happened to him — so that the court would understand what the trust fund needs to be large enough to cover. That is what this page is for. We are Attorney911…

What the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Report Means for Survivors of Diocese of Providence Clergy Abuse If you are reading this page, you already know what happened to you. You may have known for decades. You may have carried it in silence since you were a child — a priest at a parish in Providence or Cranston, the grooming that started with attention and gifts, the abuse that followed in a rectory bedroom, the words that still echo. And you may have just learned, from a report released on March 4, 2026, that the Attorney General of Rhode Island spent years investigating the Diocese of Providence and confirmed what survivors have been saying all along: 75 Catholic clergy abused more than 300 children since 1950, while bishops worked to downplay, minimize, and conceal what was happening inside their own churches. This page is not a news article. It is a legal resource — written by trial attorneys who understand how institutional sexual abuse cases are built and fought — for one person: the survivor in Providence, Cranston, or anywhere in Rhode Island who is deciding, maybe for the first time, maybe after thirty or forty years of silence, whether the…

The Diocese of Alexandria Bankruptcy Bar Date: June 8, 2026 — and What It Means for Survivors If you are reading this page, you may have been carrying something for years — maybe decades — that you told no one about, or told only one person. What happened to you was real. It was not your fault. And the institution that allowed it now has a federal court deadline attached to it that changes everything about your right to compensation. The Diocese of Alexandria filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana set a bar date of June 8, 2026. That is the last day a survivor of sexual abuse connected to any diocesan entity can file a claim. After that date, the claim is permanently discharged — erased by the bankruptcy process, no matter how strong it would have been, no matter when the abuse occurred, no matter when you first connected what happened to you to the harm it caused. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We built this page because the news told you a deadline exists. It did not tell you what the deadline means, how…

Clergy Sexual Abuse & the Diocese of Providence: 75 Identified Abusers, 300+ Children Since 1950, and a Wall of Secrecy That Kept Survivors Disbelieved for Decades — Attorney911 Pursues the Catholic Institution, Its Parishes and Schools Under the Civil Accountability Law Survivors Fought to Pass, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How Religious Institutions Deny Survivor Claims, We Pull Diocesan Personnel Files, Clergy Assignment Records and Internal Communications Before Decades-Old Evidence Is Lost, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims, From East Greenwich to Every Rhode Island Parish Where Children Were Betrayed — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

East Greenwich Clergy Abuse: What the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Report Means for Survivors — and What Comes Next The sound of a school nurse’s office door opening. Light reflecting off a stained-glass window. The dread of getting on the school bus every morning. If you are reading this page, those fragments may be yours — and the report that came out of the Rhode Island attorney general’s office this week may be the first time anyone in authority has said, in writing, that what happened to you was real, that it was not your fault, and that the institution you trusted knew about it and hid it. We are Attorney911, and this page is written for one person: the survivor — or the survivor’s family — who is sitting with this report and deciding whether there is anything left to do about it. There is. The road is not simple, and we will not pretend it is. But a state government just corroborated what survivors have been saying for decades, and the law in Rhode Island has changed in ways that may open a door that was locked for most of your life. This is what that door looks…

Carneys Point Clergy Sexual Abuse Settlement: What Survivors and Families Need to Know If you are reading this page, you may be carrying something you have carried for a very long time. Maybe decades. Maybe you told someone and were not believed. Maybe you told no one because the man who hurt you said he would kill your family if you ever spoke. Maybe you tried to bury it — worked a string of jobs, drank, stayed disconnected from everyone who tried to get close — and the day came when you realized that if you did not start dealing with what happened to you, it was going to kill you. We want you to hear three things before anything else. First: what happened to you was not your fault. Not then, not now, not in any version of the story. The man who abused you made a choice. The institution that put him in a position of power over you and then looked the other way made a choice. You were a child. Second: it is not too late. New Jersey changed its law specifically because the legislature understood that survivors of institutional sexual abuse often cannot come forward…

Clergy Sexual Abuse & Institutional Cover-Up in Rhode Island: 315 Children, 72 Accused Clergy, Decades of Priest Shuffling and File Destruction by the Diocese of Providence — Attorney911 Pursues the Diocese and the Bishops Behind the Concealment, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Secure the Personnel Files, Transfer Records and the AG’s 282-Page Findings Before Surviving Evidence Is Lost, Rhode Island’s Fraudulent-Concealment Doctrine Tolls the Statute of Limitations When an Institution Hides the Truth, Punitive Damages for Wanton and Willful Conduct, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Report Changed Everything — But It Didn’t Change the Clock If you are reading this, you may have spent decades carrying something that no one in authority was willing to confirm. On March 4, 2026, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha released a 282-page report documenting what the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence concealed for more than seven decades: the sexual abuse of at least 315 children by 72 priests and deacons, dating back to 1950. The Attorney General called the numbers “staggering, shocking, astounding” — and then added, “we know we didn’t get it all.” For survivors who reported their abuse to the diocese and were questioned, discredited, or ignored — like Dr. Ann Hagan Webb, who was deemed “not credible” by diocesan officials for 32 years — the report is something else entirely. It is the government of Rhode Island looking at what happened to you and saying, in writing: this is real, and you were telling the truth. But validation is not the same as justice. The report is a government findings document, not a verdict. It does not write a check. It does not hold the diocese legally accountable in a court of law. It…

Casper, Wyoming Clergy Sexual Abuse: Your Legal Rights When the Harm Was Decades Ago If you are reading this page, you already know what it took to get here. Maybe you saw the news about a lawsuit filed in Casper — three men who say a former youth minister at Our Lady of Fatima Parish sexually assaulted them when they were boys, during church youth programs in the 1990s. The Diocese of Cheyenne issued a public statement calling the allegations serious and expressing concern. Maybe that news opened something inside you that has been locked for twenty or thirty years. Maybe you are one of those three men. Maybe you are a parent who suspected something was wrong and was told you were overreacting. Maybe you are a survivor of a different church, a different youth group, a different trusted adult who used the same access and the same trust to cause the same kind of harm. Maybe you are reading this at 2 a.m. because the nights are when it comes back. Whatever brought you here, we want you to know three things before anything else. First: coming forward after decades is not a weakness in your story. It…

Diocese of Alexandria Bankruptcy & Clergy Sexual Abuse Claims: 85 Survivors, 30+ Accused Priests, Abuse From 1945 Into the 2000s Across Alexandria, Pineville and 13 Louisiana Civil Parishes — Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to Institutional Sexual-Abuse Litigation Against Dioceses That Knew of Predator Priests and Shuffled Them Between Parishes Instead of Warning Families, We Pursue the Diocese, Its Supervisory Leadership and the Insurance Carriers Behind the Compensation Pool, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Preserve the Personnel Files, Transfer Records and Insurance Policies Before the Bankruptcy Bar Date Closes the Window, Louisiana’s Child Sexual-Abuse Lookback Window Expires June 14, 2027 — the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Moment You Are In You may have heard the news and felt something you cannot quite name. Not relief, exactly. Not closure. Something older than that — the recognition that an institution you were taught to trust is finally, publicly, admitting what was done to you. The Diocese of Alexandria filed for bankruptcy on October 31, 2025, and in the bishop’s own letter, the words were plain: “We are at this moment for one reason: some priests sexually abused minors.” If you are a survivor of clergy sexual abuse in central Louisiana — whether it happened in Alexandria, Pineville, or any of the 13 civil parishes this diocese covers — you are reading this at a moment that is both an opening and a clock. The opening: Louisiana law has revived the right to file a claim no matter how long ago the abuse occurred, through a lookback window that does not close until June 14, 2027. The clock: a bankruptcy court will set its own deadline — a bar date — that may arrive sooner than that, and if you miss it, your claim is gone forever. You do not have to know yet whether you want to…

Florida Clergy Abuse Lawsuits: Institutional Accountability When the Priest Is Gone If you are reading this at two in the morning, looking for answers about what happened to you or to someone you love inside a church that was supposed to be safe — you are in the right place, and you are not alone. A civil lawsuit filed in Sarasota County is proving right now that the death of the priest who caused the harm does not end the case. The institution that assigned him, supervised him, and kept him in positions of access to children remains fully answerable. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC — and this page is our senior trial team’s full analysis of what this case means for survivors of clergy sexual abuse in Florida, what the law actually protects, what the evidence looks like, and what happens next when someone finally decides to come forward. The case in Sarasota involves a plaintiff identified as John Doe who filed suit in 2020 alleging that a Roman Catholic priest serving across multiple parishes in southwest Florida sexually assaulted him when he was a young boy. The priest died in December 2025 — and…
