Understanding The Terms Sexual Abuse And Sexual Assault
Sadly, we wish you never needed to better understand these two unthinkable terms. However, the legal definition of each could be vital to estimating the time necessary to complete your case and the settlement amount. Sexual assault adds severe physical abuse and injuries to the sexual violation in most instances. The victims can suffer broken bones, soft tissue injuries, joint trauma, unwanted pregnancy, and harm from sexually transmitted diseases. These injuries can require costly medical care and impact the rest of the victim’s life.
When evaluating a sexual assault to determine a settlement, the court will often award more to the victim to cover the added expenses incurred due to the injuries and medical costs they suffered. The added complexities of the injuries and brutality of sexual assault also explain why it takes longer for a Yolo County Juvenile Hall sexual assault case to settle. Acts considered sexual assault include:
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Rape
- Sexual penetration of any nature other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor into prostitution
- Involving a child in pornography
Sexual abuse does not often include the same level of violence as sexual assault. However, it also leaves the victim with severe emotional scars and possibly physical injuries. The list of acts considered sexual abuse is more lengthy and includes but is not limited to the following:
- Lewd or sexually explicate comments or conversations with a minor
- Unwanted touching of any kind but especially in the private areas such as the buttocks, breaks, groin area, or genitals
- Forcing the victim to touch their abuser in a sexual manner
- Forcing the minor to participate in any kissing of a sexual nature
- Making a minor masturbate so their abuser can watch
- Forcing the victim to watch as their abuser masturbates
It is also vital to understand that as a minor, the victim is not capable of providing consent for any acts of a sexual nature. So, when any of these violations are reviewed to determine a settlement, the court views them as forced actions against the victim. The result is often a more substantial settlement for the victim of childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault than would be awarded to an adult victim who suffered similar violations.
