Understanding Some Critical California Legal Definitions
In California, sexual assault and sexual abuse are different acts against a victim. While both have a sexual component forced on a minor, the assault is considered more brutal. It can often result in significant physical harm to the victim and an unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease. Acts that are typically regarded as sexual abuse include:
- Rape
- Oral copulation
- Sodomy
- Sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor to be involved in prostitution or pornography
The less aggressive acts that are categorized as sexual abuse include but are not limited to:
- Exposing yourself to a minor
- Groping or fondling the victim
- Forcing the victim to grope or fondle the abuser
- Forcing the victim to participate in kissing in a sexual manner
- Forcing the victim to masturbate or watch the abuser masturbate
- Making sexual or lewd comments to a minor
All of these acts are considered to be forced sex acts involving a minor because they are not old enough to provide consent to participate in sexual acts. In addition, sexual assault victims can often seek increased settlement amounts because of the added brutality and physical injuries caused during their assault.
