How to Hold Sex Offenders and Their Enablers Accountable

Nothing can prepare you for the horror of becoming the victim of a sexual assault. But the pain doesn't stop with the arrest or conviction of the criminal, or the degrading and humiliating ordeal you must endure with police, in the medical exam, or in court, and the after-effects of the assault may continue throughout your life. Compensation for the pain and suffering itself is certainly appropriate, but so too is sufficient compensation to provide for the counseling, therapy, and/or medications that will often be helpful or necessary to bring peace to the life of a victim of a sexual assault. Although insurance companies will balk at paying for these expenses, don't let them get away with it, we don't.

In many cases, the criminal may wind up in prison and have no assets available to pay compensation to a victim. But the law may hold legally responsible other parties or their employers who contributed in some way to the assault. A business or church that is negligent in hiring or monitoring its employees may be just as liable for damages as the criminal and have the ability to pay. It is not always easy to identify all of the parties who might have played a contributing role in the crime, so it is important that you check with a lawyer experienced in sexual assaults and the complex factual scenarios that contribute to these assaults.
