Defining Sexual Abuse And Sexual Assault
As the victim of childhood sexual violations at Pathways Academy, you are sure to have carried a heavy load of emotional baggage and trauma from those experiences. And if you are like many of the new clients who contact Kenmore Law Group for help getting the compensation they deserve, you have tried to put the trauma and pain behind you and forget the horrible details of the abuse or assault. But once you decide to take legal action, you have been forced to recall all the harm, fear, and pain you only wanted to forget.
The expert sexual abuse and assault lawyers at Kenmore Law Group are saddened knowing it will cause you pain to relate the facts of your case to them. However, they pledge to work diligently to ensure that you finally get the justice due to you for the harm you suffered. In addition, they have created a list of acts that define sexual abuse and assault to help you understand the violations you suffered and relate them to your legal team as quickly as possible.
Sexual assault is often a very violent attack that can inflict brutal physical injuries to the victim as well as emotionally harmful sexual violations. The result could be severe injuries, including damage to reproductive organs, broken bones, soft tissue damage, and emotional scars that will last a lifetime. The acts typically classified as sexual assault include:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Being forced to take part in pornography or prostitution
While sexual abuse does not typically involve the physical violence of sexual assault, there is still severe emotional harm due to the sexual violations. In addition, some acts of sexual abuse are often overlooked by victims who fail to understand that some sexual abuse does not involve physical contact with their abuser. This added confusion when identifying the acts of sexual abuse is why the list provided below is of immense value to victims who are preparing to meet with a Kenmore Law Group sexual abuse attorney to discuss the facts of their case.
The acts of sexual abuse can include but are not limited to:
- Someone making lewd or sexually explicate comments to the victim
- An adult or another minor exposing themselves to the victim
- The victim is forced or coerced into masturbating while their abuser or other victims watch
- The victim is forced or coerced into watching their abuser masturbate
- Being forcefully kissed in a sexual manner or forced to participate in sexual kissing
- The victim is groped or fondled by their abuser, such as a female having someone groping her breasts
- The victim is forced to grope or fondle their abuser, which could include fondling a male’s groin area
- Any unwanted or inappropriate touching in a sexual manner, which could include another person rubbing their body against the victim in an arousing or sexual manner
If you suffered any of these acts or similar actions that made you feel sexually violated while in the care of Pathways Academy, please reach out to Kenmore Law Group immediately. Our staff can be contacted 24/7 to help you determine if you were sexually abused or assaulted at Pathways Academy and schedule a free consultation with a lawyer who can sue Pathways Academy. But please make the call immediately, as there is a time limit to file a Pathways Academy sexual abuse or sexual assault lawsuit against Pathways Academy.
What Is The Time Limit To File A Pathways Academy Sexual Abuse Or Assault Lawsuit?
The time limit to file a lawsuit is called the Statute of Limitations. The time allotted varies based on the legal material of the case. However, victims need to understand that the time limit for their case is non-negotiable. Once the Statute of Limitations for a case has expired, the victim will have lost the right to seek legal action via a lawsuit. And if they attempt to file a claim after the time limit has passed, it will be denied.
In cases involving childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault, the time limit to file a lawsuit is a full 22 years. The ability to seek legal action for these cases begins when the victim reaches the age of majority at 18 and ends when they turn 40. So, there is ample time for the victim to seek legal guidance, have their case prepared, and ensure it is filed with the court by their 40th birthday. The team at Kenmore Law Group always recommends that victims seek a free consultation as soon as possible to learn more about their rights. Even if they are unsure, they will file a lawsuit immediately. Gathering information as early as possible provides the most options for the victim without the added stress of deciding because their time limit will soon expire.
Are There Exceptions To The Statute Of Limitations?
In most cases, no exceptions exist to the time limit defined in the Statute of Limitations for a given lawsuit. However, the circumstances created in some childhood sexual abuse or assault lawsuits can create a unique issue. These cases typically involve a minor who was either very young or emotionally immature at the time of their sexual abuse or assault. As a result, they were unable to process the trauma and pain they encountered and forced the memories of the events from their conscious mind.
However, later in life, possibly even after the age of 40, these memories of their abuse or assault resurfaced. In these rare instances when the victim is over 40 when they discover or rediscover their abuse, they would have no opportunity to seek compensation from Pathways Academy according to the time limit imposed by the Statute of Limitations. In these cases, the victim is allotted a five-year discovery period to seek legal help and file a Pathways Academy lawsuit if they so desire. But much like the original Statute of Limitations, the victim will lose the right to seek justice after the five years have passed. If you believe that this added time could allow you to sue Pathways Academy for sexual abuse or assault, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today for a free consultation with a skilled Pathways Academy sexual abuse or assault attorney.
How Long Will It Take To Complete My Pathways Academy Lawsuit?
If you are a victim of childhood sexual abuse, please know that the experts at Kenmore Law Group are confident that we will resolve most cases in only 6 to 8 months. If your abuse case is more complicated or includes challenges, the case should be completed in no more than 18 months. Cases involving sexual assault of a minor are more complex. Often, there are extensive medical records and expenses to evaluate due to the brutality of these events. It will take one or two years to settle your sexual assault case based on the facts of your time at Pathways Academy.
What Is The Average Compensation For A Pathways Academy Lawsuit?
The amount of compensation for the average sexual abuse or sexual assault lawsuit is often considered to be life-changing for the victim. Sexual abuse cases range in value from $500K to $2M, while a sexual assault case can reach $1M to $3M on average. But please know that these are averages of cases that Kenmore Law Group has litigated that could be similar to yours. To ensure that you have an accurate estimated value for your Pathways Academy lawsuit, please contact Kenmore Law Group today to book a free consultation to evaluate the losses and expenses to determine the actual value of your case.
How Is A Pathways Academy Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Worth $50M Or More?
Before you decide that joining a Pathways Academy sexual abuse class action lawsuit is the best option for you, it is vital to understand more about these cases and their immense value. A class action case represents many victims who suffered similar harm or losses. In the case of a Pathways Academy sexual abuse class action lawsuit, many adults were sexually abused at the facility listed as plaintiffs in the case. Because there can be dozens or more victims, the settlement or compensation value of the case is significantly more than a single-victim lawsuit value.
When victims of Pathways Academy childhood sexual violations choose to join a class action lawsuit, they know that the value of the case will be shared among all the plaintiffs. In addition, they understand that because of the large number of victims and the facts of each case, it will take three to five years to resolve the average class action lawsuit. To learn more about these group format lawsuits, don’t hesitate to contact Kenmore Law Group today to speak to a Pathways Academy class action lawsuit attorney. They will help you determine if one of the current class action cases could be a good solution for you.
