	Sex Abuse Law Firm Debuts By Jerry Berger Berger's Beat September 28, 2011 http://bergersbeat.com/sex-abuse-law-firm-debuts/ While many local Catholics assume that the clergy crisis here has mostly passed (though it’s booming in K.C., where former St. Louis priest Robert Finn is now bishop and testified before a second grand jury), the law firm that’s handled almost all of the lawsuits here against the archdiocese is beefing up. Clayton attorneys Ken Chackes and Susan Carlson have brought a tough ex- prosecutor on board. in preparation for several new clergy cases in the works. She’s Nicole Gorovsky, a WashU law grad who worked for Missouri AG Jay Nixon, southern Illinois federal prosecutor Steve Wigginton and Boone County prosecutors Kevin Crane and Dan Knight. Gorovsky has been involved in more than 100 sexual abuse and exploitation cases, obtaining a life sentence for an ex-con who pretended to be a minister in a child porn case, a 14-year sentence for a Methodist pastor in a child sex abuse case and a 20-year sentence for an Edwardsville man for “transporting a minor across state lines for unlawful sexual purpose. Her new firm is expected to launch sex abuse litigation soon against a former Protestant clergyman and a local ex-radio personality.
