A regional law firm is helping people who may have been sexually assaulted by Jesuit members of the Society of Jesus Church's Oregon province.

Northwest Attorneys for Justice are already representing 50 victims of sexual abuse in Montana and dozens more in neighboring states.

The firm believes there are nearly four hundred victims in and around Montana and are working to find them to help file a claim against the church before the case's bar date of November 30th.

Richard King, victim of child sexual abuse, said, "The abuse has caused numerous problems in my life like chemical dependency, PTSD, various psychological disorders, and really the main reason I'm coming forward is I really do not want to see this happen again."

A representative from Northwest Attorneys for Justice says his firm is not sure how much money will come from a settlement but he says he is confident there will be enough money for each victim.

To get in touch with the firm, call 1-800-553-3760.
