LDS Church Lawsuit | The Guardian Legal Network

History

The LDS Church has long been seen as a place of faith, guidance, and community. Yet, behind this promise of safety, troubling stories of abuse have surfaced. Survivors have come forward with accounts of childhood sexual abuse by trusted church elders and employees — and of institutional failures that allowed this harm to continue.

As these voices grow louder, society is demanding accountability. Legal reforms have opened the door for survivors to pursue justice, even for abuse that happened decades ago. Guardian Legal Network was founded to ensure no survivor suffers in silence, connecting those harmed within the LDS Church to experienced attorneys who understand both the legal and emotional complexities of these cases.

Lawsuit

Lawsuits against the LDS Church are a vital tool in uncovering the truth and pursuing justice. These cases allege that the Church failed to protect children, concealed reports of abuse, and prioritized its reputation over survivor safety.

By filing a lawsuit, survivors may pursue compensation for the trauma they endured — including therapy costs, lost opportunities, and emotional pain — while also helping to ensure that no child is placed in such danger again.

Guardian Legal Network serves as the bridge between survivors and attorneys with proven experience in child sexual abuse litigation. We know these cases require sensitivity, persistence, and deep legal knowledge. When you reach out, we listen to your story and connect you with an attorney prepared to advocate for both justice and healing.

Injuries

The impact of abuse within the LDS Church is devastating and lifelong. Survivors often carry:

Severe emotional trauma, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD
Difficulty with trust, intimacy, and healthy relationships
Disconnection from faith and community due to betrayal by trusted leaders
Long-term mental health struggles requiring counseling or medication
Coping mechanisms such as substance abuse or self-harm in response to trauma

Guardian Legal Network prioritizes compassion while pursuing justice. We understand these cases are not just about legal claims — they are about dignity, healing, and accountability for harm that should never have occurred.
