Sexual Abuse Lawyer Reading Reading survivors can hold abusers and the institutions that failed them accountable.

A sexual abuse lawyer for Reading and Berks County

Reading is the seat of Berks County in southeastern Pennsylvania, at the heart of the state’s historic Dutch Country. If you were abused here, you deserve a lawyer who treats you as a person, not a case number. Ashley B. DiLiberto, Esq. represents Reading survivors and their families statewide, with free and confidential consultations by phone or video.

Ashley is a credentialed Pennsylvania attorney who listens first and litigates hard. Whether the abuse happened in a Reading school, a parish in the Diocese of Allentown that serves Berks County, a medical office, a daycare, or a youth program, she can explain your options privately and without any pressure to act before you are ready.

Sexual abuse cases we handle for Reading survivors

In Reading and across Berks County, abuse can occur in schools, churches, medical practices, childcare centers, and youth organizations. Whatever the setting, the question is the same: did an institution fail to protect you, and can it be held accountable? Ashley represents Reading survivors and their families in civil cases such as:

• Daycare & childcare abuse
• School & Title IX abuse
• Clergy & church abuse
• Doctor & medical-provider abuse
• Massage & spa abuse
• Foster care & group-home abuse

If you are not sure whether what happened to you “counts,” it costs nothing to ask. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case — you do not need a police report, a criminal charge, or a conviction to speak with a lawyer about your options.

Holding Reading-area institutions accountable

Berks County is served by the Diocese of Allentown, one of the Pennsylvania dioceses named in the statewide grand-jury report — and survivors across the Reading area continue to come forward. A civil claim is often the only way a Reading survivor forces an institution to disclose what it knew and to change how it protects people. Ashley pairs survivor-first care with national litigation experience, including her leadership role in the $2.46 billion Boy Scouts of America settlement. Past results never guarantee a future outcome.

How long do you have to file in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania’s filing deadlines are specific and have shifted in recent years, so a Reading survivor should confirm rather than assume. The time you have can depend on your age, when the abuse occurred, and case-specific facts, and these rules have been actively reformed in Harrisburg. Because a mistake can forfeit a claim, we never put a single number on the page.

What matters most is this: even abuse from many years ago may still be within the deadline, and waiting can forfeit the right to file. A free, confidential call with Ashley DiLiberto gives you a clear, accurate answer about your specific deadline — at no cost and no obligation.
