Understanding Two Vital Legal Terms
Many victims of sexual abuse or sexual assault are not fully informed on the legal definitions of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Most people who do not work in the legal field or judicial system assume they are very similar terms, if not interchangeable. However, that is not correct. Legally, these are two separate violations against a victim, especially a victim who is underage.
Sexual assault is the more violent and severe violation because it combines sexual violation with an added level of brutality that can result in severe injuries to the victim. In many situations, the victim suffered broken bones, soft tissue injuries, or damage to their reproductive organs. It is also not uncommon for sexual assault to result in an unwanted pregnancy or the victim suffering a sexually transmitted disease. Because of the potential for long-term health concerns and injuries, the victims of sexual assault often see significantly larger settlements than the victims of sexual abuse. The added violent nature of sexual assaults is also why it will take longer for a Margaret J. Kemp Girl’s Camp sexual assault case to settle. Acts viewed as sexual assault include:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Oral copulation
- Any sexual penetration other than intercourse
- Forcing a minor to participate in pornography or prostitution
Some of the more common acts of sexual abuse include but are not limited to:
- Lewd or sexually explicate comments to a minor
- Unwanted touching of the victim with particular focus on the buttocks, breasts, groin area, or genitals
- Forcing the victim to grope or fondle their abuser, most significantly in the private areas
- Forcefully kissing a minor in a sexual manner
- Making a minor watch their abuser masturbate or forcing the minor to masturbate while their abuser watches
The severity of these violations is increased when the victim is a minor because they are too young to provide consent to participate in sexual acts. So, all of these offenses are considered forced sex acts against the victim. This accounts for the larger settlements presented to an adult who was sexually abused as a minor compared to an adult who suffered similar abuse.
How Many Years Does It Take To Settle A Margaret J. Kemp Girl’s Camp Sex Abuse Lawsuit?
Many childhood sexual abuse victims believe it will take years for their lawsuit to be settled and allow them to move on with their lives.
