If you are a victim of Sexual Battery, Molestation, or Harassment, you have legal rights, and I have the expertise to help you seek justice in civil court. I am a former thirty-six-year veteran Sex Crimes Prosecutor, and I have been helping victims navigate these extremely sensitive cases within the court system. These cases are extremely unique because of the delicate nature of the issues and facts. Speaking openly about sexual aspects of these lawsuits might be challenging for some victims, which is why patience, compassion and experience are qualities that your attorney should possess. My decades of speaking and listening to the situations that victims might find themselves in makes me the perfect choice when looking to fight for you and your rights.
People often want to know “what claims are viable for a possible lawsuit based on something that is sexual in nature”? People might not be aware that sex crime lawsuits can arise out of various situations and can include a myriad of people or places. Other people besides the person who directly victimized you that might share liability. Claims for a lawsuit might include Sexual Battery (known as rape in many states) which is defined as penetration, either orally, anally, or vaginally with another’s sexual organ or object, without consent. The law defines what qualifies as legal consent, stating of course that it must be knowing and intelligent, as it cannot be forced, or be by coerced submission. Molestation cases differ from Sexual Battery cases because there is no penetration, but there is some form of sexual contact. Sexual Harassment on the other hand, is unwelcomed conduct that is sexual in nature. Some examples would be sexual advances in or outside of the workplace, asking for sexual favors, repeated unwanted sexual comments, or physical contact without your consent.
