On what theory? Cigarettes were actionable because of products liability. Sexuality is not usually a product.
See post #21. Help me make this into a theory. I’ve got gobs of cash, and you’ll get $350 per hour during the brainstorming, and a 50% cut of the take with a guaranteed minimum.
I want you to help me get there.
How do we do it, counselor?
Negligence. Sexuality can damage a person as much as cigarettes. Indeed, if a parishoner were to get herpes or AIDS or Hepatitis C after being seduced by a sexual predator who had been encouraged to practice his lifestyle with other members of the congregation, then liability could attach.
I'm sure there is a fact pattern that could produce a viable lawsuit. Let's find a damaged parishoner and then see if we can find a legal theory. Generally where there are damages, there is a remedy.
