A New York City law firm introduced an updated public database Thursday with 13 new alleged perpetrators accused of child sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany filed under the Child Victims Act this year as the lawâs lookback window nears its closing deadline.
Jeff Anderson & Associates added the names of the additional accused child molesters to its New York Child Victims Act Diocesan Lawsuit Dashboard, which includes detailed data about the thousands of clergy accused of sexually abusing children within the archdioceses of New York, Rockville Centre, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Syracuse and Ogdensburg.
âThe database demonstrates what we do know,â attorney Jeff Anderson, who represents hundreds of state survivors, said Thursday. âKnowing that action has a chance of protecting other kids and helping other survivors realize theyâre not the only one, and inspiring them to take their power back and to share that secret and to do something about it instead of suffering in silence each day.â
