If you have been sexually abused, you were violated in a horrific way. In Pennsylvania, you have powerful legal rights and are able to pursue a statutory sexual assault lawsuit against the parties responsible for the physical and emotional harm you have suffered. Unfortunately in society, sexual abuse is more common than people may realize. This is where our experienced attorneys could come in, representing victims of abuse across a broad spectrum of cases, including:
Something that has been at the top of news stories over the last few years is the accusation of minors and vulnerable people being sexually abused within the church.
Being a victim of sexual abuse within the workplace can be especially difficult. You are committed to your job but are now left wondering in fear, what consequences could you face for reporting acts of assault? There are laws that protect a victims of sexual offenses in the workplace whether they were committed by bosses, co-workers or even contractors.
Child sexual abuse is unfortunately common at public, private, and boarding schools. Perpetrators often seek positions of authority where they have access to children or other vulnerable populations. The abuse can come from teachers and even other faculty members.
Similar to the inappropriate contact our sexual abuse attorneys have represented in schools, similar offenses can be found in sports such as gymnastics, swimming, diving, and wrestling. Coaches have close contact to youth in often private situations. The violating acts can often be used as leverage by the perpetrator to be a more advanced athlete and get special advancements.
Our Philadelphia sexual abuse lawyers represent all types of sexual assault charges including child sex abuse, rape, molestation and sexual assault, but not limited to the following:
According to RAINN ( Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), "every 73 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. Every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. Meanwhile, only 5 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison." Hundreds of people are affected by sexual abuse every day. If you or someone you love was assaulted, you have the legal right to file a civil lawsuit.
It is estimated that out of every 1,000 sexual assaults, only 230 are reported to the police. It is important to not only file a police report, but to contact an experienced Philadelphia sexual abuse lawyer to understand your options. Here is just a handful of frequently asked questions our team receives.

One is for minors and the other for adult sexual abuse victims.
In Pennsylvania, victim's of sexual abuse have the ability to file suit in the criminal court against both individual offenders as well as pursuing justice against the institutions that facilitate sexual activity. Institutions can be found guilty of concealing allegations of sexual assault, protecting offenders or failing to report the crimes. If a sexual assault conviction occurs, there are a variety of charges that could be taken into effect such as signing up for the sex offender registry, getting charged with a second-degree felony that could lead up to a sentence of up to 20 years.
