Defining The Acts Of Sexual Abuse And Sexual Assault
It can be difficult to even think about the sexual violations that you suffered as a minor in the care of Sutter Juvenile Hall. Most victims would like to forget every detail of these events. However, if you are preparing to hold the facility accountable for its negligence in protecting you from harm, you will need to find the strength and courage to discuss these events with your Kenmore Law Group legal team.
We know this thought will bring some stress and concern to new clients, who often face uncomfortable meetings with their lawyers. But please know that our experts have spoken to many victims who have suffered similar sexual violations. We want to offer some general information to help you better understand the terms and words that will best allow you to describe the events of your sexual abuse or assault.
Sexual assault is often a combination of brutal physical violence and sexual violations that result in significant injuries to the victim. Physical harm can include damage to soft tissue and joints, broken bones, complications due to sexually transmitted diseases, or unwanted pregnancy. And the emotional damage can result in equally as severe scars due to acts that include:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- The victim is forced to participate in acts of prostitution or pornography
Sexual abuse is typically less physically violent than sexual assault. However, the victim still endures a wide variety of sexual violations that leave severe mental and emotional harm. The acts of sexual abuse also create added confusion because not all of the violations are as easily recognized and can fail to be treated as severe acts of sexual abuse. Some victims report being sexually abused only to be told the acts are not sexual violations because the abuser never physically touched the victim. However, that is not true. The acts typically present in Yuba/Sutter Juvenile Hall sexual abuse cases include:
- Someone exposing their private areas to the victim in a sexual manner
- The victim receives lewd or sexually explicate comments
- The abuser forces the victim to masturbate while they watch or makes the victim observe them as they masturbate
- The victim is groped or fondled by their abuser, or the abuser forces the victim to fondle or grope the private areas of their body
- Any unwanted or inappropriate touching of a sexual nature
If you were subjected to any of these acts of sexual abuse or assault or others that made you feel sexually violated, please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group immediately. Our exceptional legal staff can be reached 24/7 to help you understand your rights and learn more about how to hold Yuba Juvenile Hall accountable for the harm you sustained as a minor in its care.
How The Statute Of Limitations Could Prevent You From Filing Your Yuba Juvenile Hall Lawsuit
Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the time limit to file all lawsuits. The amount of time provided to the victim is defined by the Statute of Limitations. While the time will vary based on the legal matter involved in the case, once that specified time limit has expired, the victim loses the right to file a claim and seek justice and compensation for harm due to that event. So, it is vital that all victims explore the time limit for any lawsuit they might file to fully understand the time they have to evaluate their options and make a wise and well-informed choice.
In cases regarding childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault, the Statute of Limitations provides 22 years for the victim to seek the legal guidance of a lawyer who can sue Sutter Juvenile Hall and file a claim. The time to take action begins when the victim becomes an adult at the age of 18 and can legally enter into proceedings such as a lawsuit. The window extends to the victim’s 40th birthday. If a lawsuit is not filed in that time, the victim will no longer have the right to file a claim against Yuba Juvenile Hall for their childhood sexual abuse or assault. It is vital that victims schedule a free consultation with a Kenmore Law Group Sutter Juvenile Hall sexual molestation lawyer to evaluate the facts of their case and the time remaining to file a lawsuit, even if they are unsure they will take action. This information will ensure they do not lose their right to seek justice because they lack information or knowledge.
The Exception To The Statute Of Limitations
In most instances, no exceptions exist to the time frame defined by the Statute of Limitations. However, cases that involve the sexual abuse or sexual assault of minors can provide a unique situation. In rare cases, the victim of the violations cannot cope with the stress, pain, or other emotions caused by their abuse or assault. As a coping mechanism, they force the memories from their conscious mind to make the pain stop. But later in life, the memories can resurface or be rediscovered.
When the memories are discovered after the victim has reached the age of 40, they have no right to seek justice via a lawsuit, according to the Statute of Limitations. However, the legal system was designed to protect all victims, so an exception was created. The five-year discovery period is provided to all victims of childhood sexual abuse or assault who discover their violations after reaching the age of 40. The time begins on the date of the discovery and expires in five years, much like the original time limit. If you believe this added time could apply to you and your Yuba Juvenile Hall lawsuit, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today.
Vital Information About Sutter Juvenile Hall Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuits
Some people have heard of class action lawsuits, but most are unaware of the function of these cases and what sets them apart from a traditional single-victim lawsuit. But they become much more interested in gathering more information once they hear that a Yuba Juvenile Hall sexual abuse class action lawsuit could be worth between $50M and $100M. So, they reach out to Kenmore Law Group to learn more from the staff of expert Yuba/Sutter Juvenile Hall class action lawsuit attorneys.
What they find is that a Sutter Juvenile Hall sexual abuse class action lawsuit represents many victims of childhood sexual abuse while at the facility. There could be dozens or more plaintiffs listed on a single class action case. However, when the case is completed, each victim does not receive the total compensation amount listed for the lawsuit. Instead, the amount of compensation awarded or the settlement value is divided among the plaintiffs.
Finally, because of the number of victims listed in larger class action lawsuits and the amount of information involved related to each person’s abuse, it can take three to five years for these cases to be completed. To learn more about current class action cases, please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group to book a free consultation with a Yuba Juvenile Hall class action lawsuit attorney.
