Understanding Critical Legal Terminology
In California, the legal definitions of sexual abuse and sexual assault are not the same. Victims of sexual abuse and sexual assault need to understand the differences in these egregious acts and how each act will impact the time needed to settle their lawsuit and its settlement value. While both include an aggressive sexual component, sexual assault also has much more violence and the potential for severe injuries, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted disease issues.
The added complexities of sexual assault are why it will take longer for an L.A. Afflerbaugh Camp sexual assault case to settle. They are also the primary reason many sexual assault victims receive larger settlements than those who suffered sexual abuse at the L.A. Afflerbaugh Camp. Acts that are considered sexual assault include:
- Sodomy
- Rape
- Oral copulation
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing the victim to participate in prostitution
- Involving the victim in pornography
While considered lesser offenses than those of sexual assault, these common sexual abuse acts often leave the victim with significant mental and emotional trauma:
- Unwanted touching, groping, or fondling of the victim
- Forcing the victim to fondle, grope, or touch the abuser in a sexual manner
- Exposing oneself to a minor
- Forcing the victim to masturbate while the abuser is watching
- Making the victim watch while the abuser masturbates
- Lewd or sexually explicate comments or discussions with a minor
Finally, the damage caused by these acts is compounded in the eyes of the court because they are all forced sexual acts against a minor. Being under the age of consent, minors cannot provide consent and willingly participate in acts of a sexual nature.
