It provides the most common acts that occur during sexual abuse and assault to help you verbalize the violations you suffered as a minor at Monterey Youth Camp Center.
Sexual assault is often a combination of physical violence and a sexual component that can include:
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Rape
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Being forced to take part in prostitution or the creation of pornography
Sexual abuse is less physically violent in most cases and can involve violations that do not include physical contact between the victim and the abuser. This adds a layer of confusion for many victims who were possibly unaware that the abuse they suffered included acts of sexual abuse. These acts can include but are not limited to:
- Being forcefully kissed or made to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
- The victim witnesses someone exposing themselves in a sexual manner
- The abuser forces the victim to masturbate while they and possibly others watch
- The victim is coerced into watching their abuser masturbate
- Someone makes sexually explicate or lewd comments to the victim
- A victim suffers someone groping or fondling her body, which could include someone groping her breasts or buttocks
- An abuser makes their victim fondle or grope their body, such as fondling a male’s groin area
- Any inappropriate touching or unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature that could include acts meant to appear accidental or incidental, such as rubbing against the victim’s body in passing but in a sexually motivated manner
If you suffered any of these acts that are considered Monterey Youth Camp Center assault or could be viewed as being sexually abused, please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group as soon as possible. Our staff will answer any general questions you have and schedule a free consultation with a Monterey Youth Camp Center sexual molestation lawyer to evaluate the legal merit of your claim.

The Statute Of Limitations For Your Monterey Youth Camp Center Lawsuit
The Statute of Limitations defines how long a victim has to file a lawsuit. Once this time limit expires, the victim no longer has the right to seek justice or compensation by filing a lawsuit. It is also critical to know that the expiration is strictly enforced, and once it has passed, any lawsuit that is filed will be immediately denied.
In cases involving childhood sexual abuse or assault, the victim is given 22 years to work with a lawyer who can sue Monterey Youth Camp Center and have their case filed with the court. The time begins when the victim reaches the age of majority at 18 and can participate in legal matters. The last day to file a claim is the day before the victim reaches their 40th birthday. While this appears to be a generous period, victims must consult a legal professional as early as possible to understand their rights and the time limit. This information gathering allows time to process the trauma of their childhood abuse or assault and prepare to take action before the Statute of Limitations expires.
Are There Exceptions To This Time Limit?
In most cases, there are no exceptions to the Statute of Limitations and no opportunities to extend the time limit. However, cases that involve sexual abuse or assault of minors can present some more complex situations, the most serious of which could prevent a victim from having the opportunity to seek justice for their sexual violations. In these cases, the legal system will provide a five-year discovery period to victims who meet particular criteria.
To be provided the added five years to sue Monterey Youth Camp Center, the victim must be over the age of 40 when they discover their sexual abuse or assault that occurred when they were minors. Typically, the victim was aware of the violations at the time they happened but was unable to process the trauma. As a result, they forced the memories from their conscious mind as a form of repression to hide from the pain. However, later in life, the memories resurfaced or were rediscovered. At that point, the victim has five years to contact a Monterey Youth Camp Center sexual abuse or assault attorney to decide if they want to seek compensation and justice for the harm they suffered while in that facility. Please reach out to Kenmore Law Group to learn more if you believe this exception could allow you to file a lawsuit.
