Were You Sexually Assaulted or Abused At San Benito County Juvenile Hall?
Everyone will agree that there are few acts more egregious than sexually violating another person, especially when the victim is a minor. However, it is not widely known that sexual abuse and sexual assault are legally two different acts against the victim. Sexual assault is viewed in legal terms as the more harmful and brutal of the two sex-related invasions of the victim’s body. Many times, these acts result in severe physical injuries, damage to reproductive organs, an unwanted pregnancy, or a sexually transmitted disease. These damages also often require costly long-term medical care for the victim. Acts that are commonly considered sexual assault include:

• Rape
• Sodomy
• Oral copulation
• Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
• Forcing a minor to be involved in pornography or prostitution

Acts that fall into the less violent category of sexual abuse include but are not limited to:

• Unwanted touching, groping, or fondling of the victim – especially in the groin area, buttocks, breast, or genitals
• Forcing a minor to touch their abuser in a sexual or fondling manner
• Forcing the victim to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
• Making the victim masturbate while their abuser watches
• Forcing the victim to watch as their abuser masturbates
• Making lewd or sexually explicate comments or conversations with a minor

The legal system views all of these acts as more harmful when they are inflicted on a minor. Legally, minors are not old enough to provide consent for sex acts. The court views all of these acts as being forced on the minor, which can result in a more significant settlement for a victim of child sex abuse or assault than an adult victim.

Why Lawsuit Times Can Vary
