Compassionate Kansas Sexual Assault Lawyer Providing Consultations

If your family has recently been affected by sexual violence, you may be struggling to find answers and justice. Are you troubled with questions like:

  • Will the person responsible be sent to prison?
  • What are the effects of sexual abuse?
  • How can filing a civil sexual abuse lawsuit help?
It’s important to know that there are two legal systems that handle these crimes – the criminal justice system, which prosecutes sexual offenders, and the civil court system, which helps compensate victims for damages related to their sexual abuse or sexual assault.

What Are The Kansas Statute of Limitations For Sexual Abuse Survivors?

 
The statute of limitations in Kansas is the legal limit on the time that can pass between an injury and the filing of a lawsuit. For criminal sodomy, when the victim is over 18, the prosecution must fall within 10 years of the violation. If the victim is under 18, they have 10 years once they turn 18 to seek prosecution.
By speaking directly with one of our attorneys, you can learn about the specifics relating to your case.
 

What Are Long-Term Effects In Victims of Child Sexual Abuse?

 
Child sexual abuse and sexual assault can affect everyone differently. There can be physical injuries and emotional damages that can be devastating for the victim. Some common effects seen in victims of sexual assault or abuse include:
  • Depression
  • Substance addiction
  • STDs
  • Low self-esteem
  • Relationship troubles
  • Scarring from restraints
  • Anxiety
  • Family problems
  • Localized pain
  • Sleep problems
  • Eating disorders
  • Discipline issues
  • and more

Is There A Difference Between Civil and Criminal Sexual Abuse Cases?

Yes, these are two different types of cases that you will want to discuss with your lawyer. A civil lawsuit will be against the perpetrator and will seek financial compensation and healing for the sexual assault victim. Criminal litigation requires a high burden of proof and seeks fines, imprisonment, and sex offender registration. A criminal lawsuit is focused on punishing the person who committed the crime.

There is also the potential for a third-party claim that can be filed against the organization, employer, or business. By engaging with an experienced law firm, you can obtain more information around the specifics of your case and what legal options you have.
 

What Types Of Damages Are Available In Sexual Abuse Lawsuits?

 
In a civil sexual abuse lawsuit, our attorneys seek compensation for the emotional trauma you have experienced. This can include medical treatment for physical injuries, psychiatric care, and other effects from the trauma. While we understand that financial compensation can never remove the pain you have suffered, it can help with the expenses incurred as well as feeling a sense of justice.
