Understanding Essential Legal Definitions
It can be excruciating to recall the sexual abuse or assault that you sustained at L.A. Central Juvenile Hall. Most adults would prefer to forget all the details of those traumatic events. However, it is critical that you relate them to your L.A. Central Juvenile Hall abuse attorney or L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual assault lawyer to ensure the facility is held fully accountable for the trauma and harm you suffered.
After working with countless other victims much like yourself, our team of L.A. Central Juvenile Hall abuse lawyers understands how difficult it can be to relate the necessary information. However, they have discovered that it can be helpful to provide some basic definitions or acts classified as sexual abuse and sexual assault to help victims relate their experiences more clearly.
The acts of sexual assault are often combined with severe physical harm and injuries that can be brutal. Victims can suffer broken bones, soft tissue damage, injuries to reproductive organs, and more while enduring acts that include:
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Rape
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Being forced to take part in prostitution or the creation of pornography
The acts considered to be sexual abuse are typically far less violent but still include the trauma of sexual violations. In some cases, the victim is not even sure they were sexually abused because the acts did not include physical contact between them and their abuser. However, they were left feeling sexually violated by acts that can include but are not limited to:
- Being the recipient of lewd or sexually explicate comments
- Having another minor or adult expose themselves to the victim in a sexual manner
- Being verbally forced or coerced to masturbate while their abuser or others watch
- Being verbally forced or coerced into watching their abuser masturbate
- Having their abuser force them into kissing of a sexual nature
- Being groped or fondled by their abuser, such as a female who has an abuser groping her breasts
- Being forced to fondle or grope an abuser, such as fondling a male’s groin area
- Any unwanted or inappropriate touching of a sexual nature, such as a person rubbing their body against the victim in a sexually arousing manner
If you were the victim of any of these sexual violations or other acts that made you feel sexually abused or assaulted while at L.A. Central Juvenile Hall, be sure to get in touch with Kenmore Law Group immediately. Our staff of legal experts will answer your questions and schedule a free consultation with a lawyer who can sue L.A. Central Juvenile Hall if your case has legal merit.
How Long Do I Have To File A Central Juvenile Hall Sexual Abuse Or Sexual Assault Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations defines how long a victim has to seek justice and compensation by filing a lawsuit. It is vital to understand how long you have for the type of lawsuit you want to file, as the time limit varies based on the content of the case. In addition, victims should understand that the time limit defined in the Statute of Limitations is final. Once the time has expired, you will have lost the right to seek compensation for the harm and losses you incurred.
Cases involving sexual abuse or sexual assault of a minor can be very complicated. It could take the victim years to fully understand the harm they suffered and be prepared emotionally to face L.A. Central Juvenile Hall in court to hold the facility accountable for its negligence in providing safety from sexual abuse or assault. The legal system offers a span of 22 years for victims of childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault to file their claim with the court.
The time limit begins when the minor reaches 18, the legal age of majority, and can take legal action against L.A. Central Juvenile Hall. The time limit expires when the victim reaches the age of 40. If the L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual abuse lawsuit or sexual assault case is not filed with the court by the date of the victim’s 40th birthday, they no longer have the right to seek compensation or justice for the harm and trauma caused by their childhood sexual violations.
Are There Ever Exceptions To The Statute Of Limitations?
In most cases, there are no exceptions to the Statute of Limitations. Once the time limit has passed, the victim can no longer file a case to seek compensation from the person or entity that caused their harm or losses. However, because the victims of childhood sexual abuse are minors and can be immature at the time of their violations, there is a single exception that can alter the time limit to file a small number of abuse or assault lawsuits.
The exception to the time limit for childhood sexual abuse or assault cases provides a victim who is over 40 an additional five years to determine if they want to file a lawsuit against Central Juvenile Hall and have the case filed with the court. The caveat is that the victim must not have known they were sexually abused or assaulted as a minor at L.A. Central Juvenile Hall or understood the ramifications of their abuse or assault.
The most common scenario for a victim to be allotted the added five-year discovery period to file a lawsuit is one where the minor blocks the memories from their conscious mind as a coping mechanism. They cannot process the pain or other emotions of this traumatic event, so they hide from it. However, at some point later in life, the memories resurface, and the adult must deal with the trauma and decide if they want to pursue legal action. However, the time limit of five years from the date of discovery is strictly enforced, much like the original Statute of Limitations. If you believe this added time could allow you to seek justice for the sexual violations you suffered as a minor at L.A. Central Juvenile Hall, please contact Kenmore Law Group immediately for a free consultation with an L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual molestation lawyer to evaluate your case.
How Long Will It Take To Complete My L.A. Central Juvenile Hall Lawsuit?

And the staff at Kenmore Law Group is dedicated to delivering their compensation and closure as rapidly as possible.
In many instances, our staff will have your sexual abuse lawsuit resolved in only 6 to 8 months. However, more challenging cases could require up to 18 months to reach completion. Cases related to sexual assault will require one to two years to resolve based on the facts and details of the case and your time in the facility. Please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today to learn more about a timeline based on your case’s specifics.
What Is The Average Value Of A Central Juvenile Hall Lawsuit?
If you were the victim of childhood sexual abuse at L.A. Central Juvenile Hall, the average value of your compensation could fall between $500K and $2M. Cases involving childhood sexual assault will typically range from $1M to $3M. But please know that these are average values based on cases previously litigated by the experts at Kenmore Law Group. To better understand the actual value of your case, please reach out to our office today for a free consultation with a skilled L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual abuse or assault lawyer to evaluate the losses and expenses related to your abuse or assault.
How Is An L.A. Central Juvenile Hall Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Worth Up To $100M?
It can be difficult even to imagine a value as massive as $100M. But that is a genuine L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual abuse class action lawsuit case value. However, it is vital to understand more about class action cases to realize why this is not an unrealistic amount for these cases.
An L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual abuse class action lawsuit represents many victims who suffered sexual abuse as minors in that facility. Each person has chosen to join a class action case and seek justice in this group format instead of filing a single-victim lawsuit. In addition, they know that the compensation awarded for the case will be shared among all the plaintiffs listed in the case. So, the money each person receives could be very similar to the amount awarded for a typical L.A. Central Juvenile Hall sexual abuse case. In addition, the plaintiffs know that because of the number of victims involved in the case, it could take three to five years to resolve.
