What is Sexual Abuse?
Sexual abuse refers to any non-consensual sexual contact or behavior that is forced, coerced, or manipulated. This includes:
✔️ Sexual Assault & Rape – Any non-consensual sexual act involving force or threats
✔️ Child Sexual Abuse – Abuse by parents, teachers, clergy, coaches, or caregivers
✔️ Institutional Abuse – Assaults that occur in schools, churches, camps, hospitals, or workplaces
✔️ Sexual Harassment – Unwanted sexual advances, comments, or quid-pro-quo coercion
✔️ Human Trafficking & Exploitation – Forced prostitution, online sexual exploitation, and abuse
✔️ Abuse by Authority Figures – Assaults committed by religious leaders, coaches, teachers, or law enforcement
Sexual abuse is a criminal act, but civil lawsuits allow survivors to hold perpetrators and negligent institutions financially responsible.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Sexual Abuse Case?
Survivors of sexual abuse can file lawsuits against:
✔️ Perpetrators – The individual who committed the abuse
✔️ Employers & Institutions – Schools, churches, hospitals, camps, and businesses that failed to prevent abuse
✔️ Property Owners & Landlords – Those who allowed abuse to occur on their premises
✔️ Third Parties – Organizations that enabled or turned a blind eye to abuse (e.g., rideshare services, hotels, clubs)
At Edelstein Law, we aggressively pursue all responsible parties to ensure you receive justice and financial compensation.
