Understanding The Legal Definition of Being Sexually Abused
It can be difficult for anyone outside the legal profession to fully understand the acts the state considers sexual abuse. So, it is very easy to realize that these concepts could be nearly impossible for minors to grasp. They understand that while in Monterey County Youth Center, they were mistreated or possibly even abused. However, most have no idea that there are acts of sexual abuse that do not require any physical contact between the victim and the abuser.

The results can be very shocking and even more painful than expected when an adult who thought they were abused at Monterey County Youth Center discovers that what actually happened was acts of being sexually abused. Even some actions that involved contact could shock the victim when they learn it was sexual abuse, such as a female who had someone repeatedly groping her breasts or forcing her to kiss them. The most common acts classified as sexual abuse in California include but are not limited to:

• Someone making sexually explicate or lewd comments to you
• A person exposing their private parts to you
• Being forced to participate in kissing of a sexual nature
• Someone groping or fondling your body or making you grope and fondle their body
• Any inappropriate touching or unwanted physical contact with other minors, facility staff, guests, security or probation officers
• Being made to watch as someone masturbates or being forced to masturbate so someone else can watch

These are all actions that are considered sexual abuse. If you suffered any of these acts, you have the right to seek compensation and justice for the violations you suffered by hiring a lawyer who can sue Monterey County Youth Center for sexual abuse. Even if your abuser was not an employee of the facility, Monterey County Youth Center was obligated to provide safety for all minors placed in the facility’s custody. By failing to meet that obligation, they could be held responsible for the harm and trauma they suffered due to childhood sexual abuse in their facility.

What Is The Time Limit To File My Monterey County Youth Center Lawsuit?
All victims need to understand that time limits are imposed on them to file their lawsuits. The amount of time varies by the violations and type of lawsuit, so it is vital that you contact a skilled and knowledgeable Monterey County Youth Center abuse or sexual assault lawyer to confirm how long you have to seek the compensation you deserve.

If you are seeking justice for a Monterey County Youth Center sexual abuse or sexual assault lawsuit, you have until the age of 40 to have your case filed with the court system. This is a very generous amount of time and much more significant than most adults who suffered childhood abuse or assault expected. The 22-year span begins at the age of majority, 18 years old, when you can file a lawsuit, and continues until you reach 40. If the case is not filed until after you turn 40, the time limit, called the Statute of Limitations, will have expired, and your claim will be denied. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to confirm the time you have remaining to file your lawsuit.

Are There Any Exceptions To The Statute Of Limitations?
The only exception to filing a childhood sexual abuse or assault case after the age limit of 40 is the five-year discovery rule. This exception can only be applied if the victim recently discovered that they were sexually abused or assaulted as a child. In these more rare cases, the victim is provided five years to seek compensation via a lawsuit, beginning at the time of their discovery. These five years are allotted without regard for the victim’s age at the time of discovery and are the only way to seek justice and compensation for these childhood violations after the age of 40.

If you have recently made a discovery of this nature while working with a therapist or counselor, please get in touch with Normandie Law Firm immediately. Our staff will answer any general questions you have and provide a free consultation with a Monterey County Youth Center lawyer to evaluate your case’s legal merit and facts to ensure you qualify for the five-year discovery period.

How Can A Monterey County Youth Center Sexual Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Be Worth More Than $50,000,000?
Victims of childhood sexual abuse are typically pleased to learn that their lawsuit could be worth $1M or more. But when they hear that a Monterey County Youth Center sexual abuse class action lawsuit can be worth between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, they become skeptical. This cannot be an accurate compensation amount for a lawsuit, which is what they assume. And until they become familiar with how a class action case works, they believe the amount is a mistake.

However, it makes more sense after learning that a class action case represents many victims who suffered similar losses or harm. In these cases, the victims have elected to seek justice in this group format instead of via many single-victim lawsuits. In addition, they agree to share any compensation awarded for the lawsuit. Knowing that the lawsuit could represent more than 100 victims helps to keep the per-person compensation at a more believable and comparable amount based on the single-victim compensation.

If you want to know more about how class action cases work and the pros and cons, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Normandie Law Firm today. Our staff will help you understand this unique option and schedule a free consultation with a Monterey County Youth Center class action lawsuit attorney to evaluate your claim and determine if a current Monterey County Youth Center sexual abuse class action case could meet your needs.

However, the value of each case is determined by evaluating the losses and expenses sustained by the victim due to their childhood sexual abuse. It is also crucial to understand that Normandie Law Firm sexual abuse lawyers are dedicated to working diligently and tirelessly to ensure that our clients receive the most robust compensation possible for the abuse they suffered as a child at Monterey County Youth Center.
