What Should You Do If You've Experienced Sexual Abuse?

Steps to Take After Sexual Abuse

If you or someone you love has experienced sexual abuse, consider these important steps:

  1. Prioritize safety: Remove yourself from dangerous situations if possible

  2. Seek medical attention: Even if injuries aren't visible, medical documentation is valuable

  3. Consider reporting: You can report to police, though this isn't mandatory before seeking civil justice

  4. Document everything: Save messages, write down dates, locations, and details

  5. Preserve evidence: Keep unwashed clothing, screenshots, or other physical evidence

  6. Seek support: Contact sexual assault hotlines, counselors, or support groups

  7. Consult with a sexual abuse attorney: Learn your legal options without obligation

Remember that there is no "right way" to respond to sexual abuse. Whatever steps you've taken or haven't taken are valid. Our California sexual abuse lawyers meet you wherever you are in your journey.

Understanding Sexual Abuse Under California Law

Sexual abuse encompasses a range of violations that extend beyond physical assault. California law recognizes several forms of sexual abuse that can form the basis of both criminal charges and civil lawsuits.

Under California law, sexual abuse includes unwanted sexual contact, exploitation, assault, and harassment. The legal definition covers:

  • Sexual assault and rape: Non-consensual sexual contact or penetration

  • Child sexual abuse: Any sexual activity involving minors under 18

  • Sexual exploitation: Using a position of power or trust to obtain sexual gratification

  • Sexual harassment: When severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile environment

  • Sexual battery: Unwanted touching of intimate parts for sexual gratification

  • Institutional sexual abuse: Abuse occurring within organizations like schools, churches, or care facilities

Common Types of Sexual Abuse Cases We Handle

Our California sexual abuse attorneys represent survivors in cases involving:

Child Sexual Abuse

Children are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse. We handle cases involving:

  • Abuse by family members or trusted adults

  • School and daycare abuse situations

  • Youth organization abuse (sports teams, scouts, etc.)

  • Online exploitation and grooming

Institutional Abuse

We hold institutions accountable when they fail to protect those in their care:

  • Schools and educational institutions

  • Religious organizations and churches

  • Foster care systems and group homes

  • Youth programs and recreational facilities

  • Medical and healthcare facilities

Workplace Sexual Abuse

When workplace harassment crosses into abuse, we help survivors seek justice:

  • Abuse by supervisors or those in positions of power

  • Hostile work environments involving sexual misconduct

  • Quid pro quo sexual demands

  • Retaliation for reporting sexual misconduct

Elder Sexual Abuse

Our team advocates for vulnerable elderly individuals who have experienced:

  • Abuse in nursing homes or care facilities

  • Exploitation by caregivers

  • Abuse by family members or guardians

Online Sexual Exploitation

Digital abuse is increasingly common and includes:

  • Non-consensual sharing of intimate images ("revenge porn")

  • Sexual extortion and blackmail

  • Grooming and exploitation through online platforms

Notable Sexual Abuse Cases in California

California has seen numerous high-profile sexual abuse cases in recent years. While we respect confidentiality, we can highlight some public cases that demonstrate the scope of institutional sexual abuse:

Examples from Recent California Cases

California has witnessed several significant cases involving coaches, teachers, religious leaders, and institutions. Survivors have bravely come forward against:

  • Christian Youth Theater: Multiple former students alleged sexual abuse by instructors

  • The Catholic Diocese of San Diego: Numerous cases involving clergy members abusing children

  • MacLaren Hall: Former residents of this Los Angeles County juvenile facility reported widespread abuse

  • California's Foster Care System: Multiple lawsuits have been filed by former foster children alleging abuse

  • University Systems: Cases involving medical professionals abusing students and patients

  • Youth Sports Organizations: Multiple cases involving coaches and administrators

These cases highlight how institutions can fail to protect vulnerable individuals and the importance of holding both perpetrators and enabling organizations accountable.

Understanding Delayed Disclosure in Sexual Abuse Cases

One of the most misunderstood aspects of sexual abuse is why survivors often wait years or even decades before coming forward. As experienced California sexual abuse lawyers, we understand these dynamics and work to educate courts and juries about this common reality.

Why Do Victims Often Wait to Come Forward?

The Psychology of Silence

Many survivors struggle with complex psychological barriers that prevent immediate disclosure:

  • Trauma responses: Including dissociation, memory fragmentation, and avoidance

  • Shame and self-blame: Many survivors incorrectly believe they are somehow responsible

  • Fear of not being believed: Particularly when the abuser is respected or powerful

  • Difficulty processing: Many survivors need time to understand what happened to them

  • Delayed recognition: Sometimes survivors don't recognize experiences as abuse until later in life

Cultural, Institutional, and Personal Barriers

External factors also contribute to delayed reporting:

  • Fear of retaliation: Concerns about personal or professional consequences

  • Power imbalances: When abusers hold positions of authority or influence

  • Family pressure: Sometimes families discourage reporting to avoid scandal

  • Distrust in legal systems: Past experiences with dismissive authorities

  • Economic dependence: When survivors depend financially on abusers

  • Cultural or religious stigma: Community attitudes that discourage disclosure

  • Lack of support networks: Absence of safe people to confide in

Understanding these barriers is crucial in sexual abuse litigation. California law increasingly recognizes these realities through reforms to statutes of limitations and evidence standards.
