Sexual assault is often a combination of physical harm and sexual violations that can result in significant injuries that are both physical and emotional. Victims can sustain broken bones, soft tissue injuries, and even damage to reproductive organs. The sexual violations that are typically classified as sexual assault include:
- Oral copulation
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Being forced to take part in prostitution or acts of pornography
Victims of sexual abuse rarely sustain the physical injuries associated with sexual assault. However, they face a wide array of sexual violations, some of which are commonly recognized as sexual abuse, while others are not as often considered to be sexually abusive. The acts typically classified as sexual abuse include:
- The victim is the recipient of lewd or sexually explicate comments
- Someone exposes themselves to the victim in a sexual manner
- The victim is forced to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
- The abuser forced the victim to masturbate so they could watch
- The abuser masturbates and makes their victim watch
- The victim is fondled or groped by their abuser, such as a female’s abuser groping her breast
- The abuser makes the victim grope or fondle the private areas of their body
- Any unwanted or inappropriate touching or physical contact of a sexual nature, which could involve the hands or other parts of the body being rubbed against the victim in a sexually explicate manner
If you suffered any of these acts while at SLO County Juvenile Hall, please contact the Kenmore Law Group team today. It is critical to understand that no one has the right to touch you sexually, and this applies to other minors, facility staff, a probation officer, or medical staff at the facility. Even if you are unsure of what you suffered at SLO County Juvenile Hall as sexual abuse or assault, please contact our staff today. They will book a free consultation with a lawyer who can sue SLO County Juvenile Hall should you have grounds for a SLO County Juvenile Hall sexual abuse or sexual assault lawsuit.
How Long Do I Have To File A SLO County Juvenile Hall Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations defines how long victims have to file a claim against a person or entity that has wronged or harmed them. The time limit varies based on the legal matter of the lawsuit. However, the one constant is that once the time has expired, the victim loses the right to seek justice with a lawsuit. So, victims need to confirm how long they have to file a claim with a seasoned legal professional.
In cases involving childhood sexual abuse or assault, the victim is allotted 22 years to file a claim with the court. The time begins when the victim reaches the age of majority at 18 and can take part in legal proceedings. The time limit expires on the victim’s 40th birthday. If the case is not filed with the court in that time, the victim will typically lose all right to seek justice. Only in rare cases can the victim receive added time to file a lawsuit when they are past 40.
The Once Exception To The Statute Of Limitations
In rare cases, a juvenile who was sexually abused or assaulted is unable to process or cope with the pain and trauma of the events they suffered. The only solution is to force the memories of the events out of their conscious mind to stop the pain. However, at some point later in life, these repressed memories are likely to resurface. At that time, if the victim is over 40, they would be too old to file a lawsuit against SLO County Juvenile Hall under the Statute of Limitations.
The judicial system created the five-year discovery period to allow these victims to seek justice. Victims have five years from the date of their discovery to seek legal guidance and sue SLO County Juvenile Hall if they decide that it is in their best interest. If they fail to take action in the five years, they lose the right to take action against SLO County Juvenile Hall later in life. Please contact Kenmore Alw Group immediately if you believe the added five-year discovery period could allow you to seek justice for the harm you suffered at SLO County Juvenile Hall.
Have You Considered A SLO County Juvenile Hall Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit?
If you are not familiar with SLO County Juvenile Hall sexual abuse class action lawsuits, the concept of a group format case can seem odd. However, these are common cases that represent many victims who suffered a loss or harm and are seeking justice as a group rather than via single-victim lawsuits. Many people are quickly interested in these cases when they see that a single class action case could result in compensation of $50M or more. But before you decide this is the ideal solution for you, there is more you should know.
First, these cases do not award each plaintiff the amount quoted as the case value. Instead, the plaintiffs share that compensation amount of the settlement amount. It is also vital to consider that the more plaintiffs listed in the case, the smaller each victim’s share could be. Finally, because many victims are represented by one lawsuit, the amount of information is massive compared to a single-victim lawsuit. So, a class action case can take three to five years to be resolved.
If you want to learn more about class action lawsuits, please contact Kenmore Law Group today. Our office staff will put you in contact with an SLO County Juvenile Hall class action lawsuit attorney for a free consultation to discuss the current open cases and evaluate your options.
