Help is now available for victims of clergy sexual abuse by the Diocese of Brooklyn. An Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP) has been created to compensate sexual abuse victims by clergy within the Diocese of Brooklyn, which includes Brooklyn and Queens.
A two phase program permits those violated to come forward and submit compensation claims.
- Phase I
- Limited to those individuals who previously submitted a complaint of sexual abuse of a minor to the Diocese of Brooklyn
- Deadline for filing a claim: September 30, 2017
- Phase II
- Includes individuals who allege clergy sexual abuse but who have not previously complained to the Brooklyn Diocese
- Deadline for filing a claim: will be announced
Without the IRCP, New York’s statute of limitations would prevent many, if not nearly most, of the claims. No matter what your age, if a priest or deacon of the Brooklyn Diocese abused you as a minor, you can come forward with previously unreported allegations of sexual abuse and be eligible to participate in Phase II of the compensation program.
