Understanding Two Crucial Legal Terms
Being sexually violated is hard for most people even to imagine. The fear and trauma of the event is unthinkable. Our team understands that it will be very painful and challenging for you to share some of the very private details of your abuse or assault. However, this information is vital to building a successful VCPAJF Detention Services sexual abuse lawsuit and securing the settlement you deserve. And it all begins with understanding that legally, sexual abuse and sexual assault are two different violations.
Sexual assault is deemed a more egregious violation because of the added violence and injuries that the victim often suffers. These brutal attacks typically leave the victim with severe soft tissue injuries, broken bones, or damage to reproductive organs. It is also common for the victim to suffer an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease. All of these issues result in the need for costly long-term medical care in addition to the emotional damage caused by the sexual component of the incident.
The court and legal systems see sexual assault as a more harmful event than sexual abuse. As such, it is prevalent for the victim of childhood sexual assault to see a more significant settlement than a victim of childhood sexual abuse. In part, the added funds are to cover the medical expenses incurred while also providing compensation for the emotional trauma and lingering impact it has on the victim’s life. Acts considered sexual assault include:
- Oral copulation
- Sodomy
- Rape
- Any form of sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor into prostitution
- Involving a child in pornography
While sexual abuse does not typically include the same level of physical abuse and injury, the victim is still violated sexually and can face a lifetime of emotional issues requiring counseling and therapy. The acts of sexual abuse include but are not limited to:
- Any unwanted touching, especially in the groin, area, buttocks, genitals, or breasts
- Forcing the victim to touch or grope their abuser in a sexual manner – especially in the private areas of the buttocks, groin, genitals, or breasts
- Forcing a minor to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
- Making lewd or sexually explicate comments to a minor
- Forcing a minor to watch their abuser masturbate
- Making a minor masturbate so the abuser can watch
It is also crucial to understand that minors are under the age of consent and cannot legally provide consent to participate in any sexual activities. When the court evaluates these violations, they are all considered forced sex acts against a minor, which can result in a larger settlement compared to what is awarded to an adult sexual assault or sexual abuse victim who suffered the same or similar violations.
