Understanding Vital Legal Definitions
Victims who suffered sexual violations while in the care of High Desert JDAC must be aware that the state has different legal definitions of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Sexual assault is viewed as the more physically and emotionally damaging act against a victim due to the added level of brutality as well as the sexual component of the incident. Victims of sexual assault can suffer severe injuries, damage to reproductive organs, sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancies that require extended and costly medical care. These added complications are the reasons it will take longer for a High Desert JDAC sexual assault case to settle. They are also the justification for the larger settlements received by sexual assault victims. Acts considered to be sexual assault include:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor to participate in pornography or prostitution
The acts considered to be sexual abuse are often far less violent but still leave the victim with emotional scars and pain that can last a lifetime without professional counseling and help to overcome the damage. The acts considered to be sexual abuse include but are not limited to:
- Unwanted touching, groping, or fondling of the victim, especially in the groin area, breasts, buttocks, or genitals
- Forcing the victim to touch their abuser in a sexual manner
- Making lewd or sexually explicate comments to a minor
- Exposing yourself to a minor
- Forcing a minor to masturbate while their abuser watches
- Forcing a minor to watch as their abuser masturbates
There is an added level of severity to these acts in the eyes of the court because minors are not old enough to provide consent to participate in sex acts. The result is that these acts are always considered forced when a minor is involved. The result is that the victim of childhood sexual abuse could receive a more significant settlement than an adult victim who suffered similar abuse.

We understand that this might sound overly aggressive. However, due to the number of cases we handle each year representing sexual abuse victims, we have the successes to back up our estimate.
