Bring the abuser to justice and put a stop to their crimes. Call a qualified attorney today to set up a confidential consultation to discuss your rights and legal options.

Understanding Sexual Abuse

The most basic definition of sexual abuse indicates an unwanted sexual encounter. Many times, the victim is a child or teenager. Sexual abuse can include any of the following:

  • Being forced to look at or watch pornographic material
  • Taking/distributing photos or videos of the victim
  • Making sexual remarks or requests to the victim
  • Exposing private parts to the victim, or forcing the victim to expose themselves
  • Forcing the victim to touch private parts, or forcing the victim to allow the abuser to touch them
  • Oral sex performed on or by the victim
  • Penetration of or by the victim

Some of society’s most vulnerable members find themselves victims of sexual abuse, simply because they are made to feel powerless by the abuser. Sometimes, the abuser uses their size to intimidate smaller victims. Other times, people in roles of authority misuse their power to make victims feel obligated to give in to demands.

Sex Abuse by Teachers, Coaches, and Counselors

In many cases, people traditionally thought of as trustworthy are, in fact, taking advantage of their position of power. Teachers, coaches, counselors, and members of the clergy are all trusted members of their communities who work with some of the most vulnerable members of society: children.

Caught between feelings of admiration and loyalty, victims of sexual abuse fear the loss of the relationship with their abuser. Many times, the abuser will make their victim fearful of telling anyone about the abuse. Some victims even worry that the abuser will move onto abusing another child. Victims of sexual abuse need help. A sexual abuse attorney in Trinity can ensure they get the help that they need.

H0w a Trinity Sexual Abuse Attorney Can Help

Thousands of people are sexually abused each year. Far too many of those cases go unreported. Attackers can and should be held accountable for their actions. By hiring a Trinity sexual abuse lawyer, you can seek damages for your pain and suffering.

Lost wages due to an inability to work can also be included in a settlement. Any physical disabilities or disfigurement caused by the abuse can be taken into account when determining your compensation. Medical care and psychological treatment is expensive and should not be paid from the pocket of the victim.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of sexual abuse, a Trinity sexual abuse attorney can help. Abusers can be brought to justice. It all starts with a phone call to set up a confidential consultation with a compassionate lawyer who will work tirelessly on your behalf.
