Were You Sexually Abused Or Sexually Assaulted At San Benito County Juvenile Hall?
Many adults who contact the Kenmore Law Group sexual abuse and sexual assault lawyers have many questions about the legal definitions of sexual violations. They know that they were victims of these acts as minors at San Benito County Juvenile Hall. However, they are unclear on which are considered sexual abuse and which are sexual assault. Not knowing this information makes it much more challenging to put the incidents they endured at San Benito County Juvenile Hall into words.
To help new clients better understand these terms and how to relate the details of their San Benito County Juvenile Hall abuse or San Benito County Juvenile Hall assault to our staff, we have compiled a list of the common acts of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Sexual assault is often a violent event that combines physical harm and injuries with sexual violations that can include:
- Oral copulation
- Sodomy
- Rape
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Being forced to take part in acts of pornography or prostitution
Sexual abuse is less violent in most cases and does not involve the physical harm often associated with sexual assault. However, the victims of sexual abuse do face the same emotional harm and trauma from violations that can include but are not limited to:
- Someone exposing their private areas to the victim in a sexual manner
- The victim is the recipient of sexually explicate or lewd comments
- An abuser forcefully kisses their victim or makes them participate in kissing of a sexual nature
- The victim is forced to masturbate while their abuser watches, or the abuser masturbates and makes their victim watch
- A victim is forced to grope or fondle their abuser, or the victim is fondled or groped by their abuser, such as when a female has someone groping her breasts
- There is any unwanted or inappropriate touching or physical contact that is considered to be sexual in nature
Victims need to know that this abuse or assault could have been inflicted by another minor, staff member, security, or probation officer working at the facility. No one, in any of these cases, has the right to touch or violate you in a sexual manner. And if that occurred while you were at San Benito County Juvenile Hall, you must contact Kenmore Law Group immediately. Our staff will put you in touch with a lawyer who can sue San Benito County Juvenile Hall to evaluate the facts of your claim and explain your right to take legal action if that is the case. But please act now, as there is a time limit to hold San Benito County Juvenile Hall accountable for its negligence in keeping you safe from sexual abuse or assault in that facility.
What Is The Time Limit To File A San Benito County Juvenile Hall Lawsuit?
There is a time limit to file any lawsuit defined by the Statute of Limitations. The amount of time provided to the victim will vary based on the legal content of the case. However, it is consistent in all instances that once the time limit has passed, the victim will lose the right to seek justice and compensation via a San Benito County Juvenile Hall lawsuit. Even if you are unsure about filing a lawsuit at the current time, it is wise to seek the guidance of a San Benito County Juvenile Hall abuse attorney to evaluate and explain the time remaining to file your case.
In instances involving childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault, victims are given 22 years to have their case filed with the court, beginning when they reach the age of majority at 18. The time to file their case ends on their 40th birthday and is typically not able to be extended for any reason. Only in very rare cases can the victim seek additional time after age 40 to file a claim with the court for childhood sexual abuse or assault.
The Five-Year Discovery Period
In most cases, there are no exceptions to the Statute of Limitations. However, when the case involves a minor who was sexually abused or assaulted in a juvenile facility, there can be extenuating circumstances. In rare cases, the victim is unable to process the trauma and events they suffered while at San Benito County Juvenile Hall. As a coping mechanism to make the pain and fear go away, they force the memories of the abuse or assault from their conscious mind. However, these repressed memories almost always resurface later in life.
When the victim discovers their sexual abuse or assault after the age of 40, the five-year discovery period provides them the opportunity to seek legal help to sue San Benito County Juvenile Hall for the harm they sustained. However, the five years of added time is strictly enforced, and the case must be presented to the court in that time. If you believe this added time will allow you to file a San Benito County Juvenile Hall sexual abuse or sexual assault lawsuit against San Benito County Juvenile Hall, please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today.
