thank you @David for bringing this to light. My heart is breaking seeing how many people have been abused. This NY Adult Survivors Act brings hope to stop these abusers and stop the secrets and lies.
For anyone out there reading this and are wondering if they have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of your pastor or leader, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
For those who are confused, please understand that ANY unwanted sexual words or touching is sexual abuse. Even if it’s from your pastor. Even if you are adult, teenager, or child.
Please reach out to someone. There are resources here with people that can help.
