Understanding Sexual Abuse And Sexual Assault Legal Definitions
In California, the state considers sexual abuse and sexual assault to be two different acts against a victim. While both include a sexual component, sexual assault is deemed the more brutal offense. In many instances, the victim of sexual assault suffered severe injuries, damage to reproductive organs, unwanted pregnancy, or sexually transmitted diseases that require lengthy medical treatment. This added level of harm is the reason many victims who were sexually assaulted receive a larger settlement than victims of sexual abuse. Acts considered to be sexual assault include:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor to take part in prostitution or pornography
The acts that are commonly deemed sexual abuse include but are not limited to:
- Unwanted touching, groping, or fondling – especially of the victim’s breasts, buttocks, genitals, or groin area
- Forcing the victim to fondle or touch their abuser in private areas or a sexual manner
- Forcing a minor to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
- Exposing yourself to a minor
- Making lewd or sexual comments to a minor or engaging them in sexually explicit conversations
- Forcing a minor to watch their abuser masturbate
- Forcing a victim to masturbate while their abuser watches
It is also vital to understand that all sex acts involving a minor are made worse in the eyes of the court because they are classified as forced acts. Minors cannot provide consent, making the act more egregious and often justifying an increased settlement as compared to the same violations against an adult.
