Two Critical Legal Definitions Victims Must Understand
After suffering through being sexually violated, you might assume that all incidents involving a sexual component are legally the same. Being violated in their very personal manner is nothing short of traumatic and unforgivable. However, victims need to understand that in the state of California, sexual abuse and sexual assault are two very different offenses against a victim.
Sexual assault is a more egregious act against the victim in the eyes of the legal system due to the added level of brutality and violence involved. Victims often suffer severe physical injuries that can include damage to their reproductive organs, soft tissue injuries, broken bones, and other injuries requiring extensive medical care. It is also common for these assaults to result in an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease that could alter the rest of the victim’s life.
Due to this added harm inflicted on the victim, settlements for sexual assault are typically more significant than those delivered for sexual abuse. However, victims need to understand that it will take longer for a Tulare County Juvenile Detention Facility sexual assault case to settle and secure their compensation. Acts considered sexual assault include:
- Oral copulation
- Sodomy
- Rape
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor to participate in pornography
- Involving a minor in prostitution
Sexual abuse often involves far less violence but still includes forced sex acts that can harm and emotionally scar the victim. These acts can include but are not limited to:
- Forcing a minor to masturbate while their abuser watches
- Making the minor watch as their abuser masturbates
- Making lewd or sexually explicate comments to a minor
- Unwanted touching of any kind that includes a sexual component or is in the groin area, genitals, breasts, or buttocks
- Forcing the minor to grope, fondle, or touch their abuser in a sexual nature
When the legal and judicial system evaluates the severity of the acts against a victim who is a minor, all acts of a sexual nature are considered forced. This adds to the gravity of the violation and can result in the amount of the settlement being increased as compared to what an adult victim would receive for suffering similar acts.
