Sexual Abuse
Sexual assault is a crime that is punishable through the criminal justice system. While a criminal can face real consequences, assault victims have a legal right to file a civil personal injury suit against their attacker alongside criminal prosecution. This means that assault victims can seek financial compensation for the harm they have suffered, which can be used to offset the cost of medical treatment, therapy, lost wages and other expenses caused by the perpetrator.
