What Is Sexual Abuse?

Sexual abuse is a form of assault where any undesired sexual contact occurs between people. It does not discriminate based on the relationship between individuals and can happen between intimate partners, colleagues, family members, and caregivers.

Examples of sexual abuse may include:

  • Unwanted sexual contact
  • Unwanted sexual requests
  • Forced viewing of pornographic media
  • Refusal to use condoms or restricting a person’s access to birth control
  • Coercing a person into sexual activity

Sexual abuse can happen to anyone regardless of their gender or age. It's not limited to a certain group and can affect individuals from all walks of life. Our firm provides assistance in obtaining the compensation that victims are entitled to. We strive to help our clients in their healing process by holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.

How Can Our Pasadena Sexual Abuse Lawyers Help?

Our team is well-equipped to support victims and navigate the complexities of the legal system on their behalf. Our attorneys can do following:

  • Determine if other individuals and/or entities are responsible such as: churches, schools, employers, etc.
  • Collect, research, and organize evidence to build our client’s case
