What Constitutes Sexual Assault?
Sexual assault is unwanted touching of a sexual nature. It occurs without consent or when a person is unable to consent. It may involve force, threats, deception, or coercion.
Examples of sexual assault include:
- Assault, battery, rape, non-consensual sexual touching
- Using a position of power to coerce sexual activity
- Assaulting someone under the guise of medical treatment
- Drugging, incapacitating someone
- Sexual harassment, unwelcome comments or advances
- Sexual contact with someone unable to consent because of disability
- Posting private images online without the consent of those involved
- Soliciting children to engage in unlawful sexual activity
- Threatening someone, including threatening to disclose images or information
- Child sexual abuse
Sexual assault may or may not involve penetration. It doesn’t necessarily involve force, and a victim is not required to fight back. There may be use of weapons, drugs, threats, or forcible confinement. There may be a single incident of assault, or it may be reoccurring or ongoing.
Where Can Sexual Assault Occur?
Sexual abuse occurs in many circumstances. Too often, the organizations that we trust hide and perpetuate abuse. Predators make their way into these organizations and harm victims.
Some places where sexual abuse occurs are:
- Schools, universities, daycares
- The workplace
- Churches, religious organizations
- Foster care, child services
- Medical care facilities, doctor’s offices, hospitals
- Physical therapists
- Psychological care and counseling services
- Elder care facilities, nursing homes
- Sports leagues, school, community, and private athletic organizations
- Dance studios
- Camps
- The home
- Online
- Hotels and motels
Abusers are often people that we trust. They may have a position of power that they exploit.
Being a victim causes physical, mental, emotional, and financial harm. As your Greenville sexual assault lawyer, we will seek justice, and we will seek to uphold your rights.
Can I File a Lawsuit for Sexual Assault?
A sexual lawsuit is a legal claim filed on behalf of a sexual assault victim. The lawsuit demands financial compensation for the victim because of the devastating harm caused by sexual abuse.
In addition to financial compensation, a lawsuit seeks answers about what happened, how the abuse was allowed to occur, and who may have enabled it. It may result in a finding of legal liability for the offender and those who failed to stop the abuse.
Sexual Abuse Victims Have Rights
Sexual abuse victims have important rights. The legal system holds offenders accountable. Victims may receive financial compensation. You may have the lawyer of your choice represent you.
How a lawyer can help
If you have been the victim of sexual assault, you may bring a lawsuit. You may have a valid legal claim even if criminal charges are not filed. Even if powerful institutions and organizations deny liability, a legal claim requires them to answer for their actions.
At Jordan Law Center, we are experienced lawyers. We understand how important strong litigation and advocacy skills are for sexual assault victims. With extensive courtroom experience and engaged representation, we get justice for our clients.
