Sexual abuse, especially organizational sexual abuse, maybe the worst personal injury a person must endure. In addition to the severe mental, emotional, physical, and other effects, organizational sexual abuse includes a strong element of betrayal. Furthermore, many organizations quickly sweep these incidents under the rug as if nothing happened, while victims struggle with the debilitating symptoms for many years without fully understanding what happened to them.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a stress-induced brain injury, maybe the most common mental injury. Symptoms of PTSD include depression, hypervigilance, and anger. The physical injuries often include eating disorders and other body image-related issues. Emotionally, many organizational sex abuse victims have a hard time connecting with people and establishing healthy relationships with them.
Organizations, like individual victims, have a hard time coming to grips with sexual abuse. But this difficulty is no excuse for avoiding the problem and refusing to acknowledge fault as well as the rights of victims. Victims have the right to seek justice when these incidents are preventable and occur due to another’s negligence.

We aim to help you reclaim your life and achieve the highest possible recovery for the harm you’ve suffered.
Motive means and opportunity are the key concepts in criminal investigations and organizational sexual abuse cases. Usually, an unnatural need for control, along with an inability (or refusal) to exercise self-control, motivates sexual abusers. An organization, such as a church or school, often provides the means and opportunity in the form of an unsupervised relationship between a predator and victim. Understanding the underlying causes of sexual abuse is crucial to addressing and preventing such behavior.

Proving Abuse
Physical abuse, be it sexual abuse, nursing home abuse, or another form of abuse, is an intentional tort. Compensation is available in an intentional tort claim if a Los Angeles sex abuse lawyer proves, by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not):
Consent is the most common substantive defense to sexual abuse and other intentional tort claims. Consent is a voluntary, affirmative assent to a specific act at a particular time. Consent is unavailable as a matter of law in many sexual abuse claims, such as child victim claims and unequal power claims (doctor-patient, teacher-student, etc.).
At the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim, we are deeply committed to providing compassionate and relentless legal representation for survivors of sexual abuse. We understand the profound emotional and physical trauma that survivors endure, and we work tirelessly to investigate every detail of your case, gathering crucial evidence, consulting with experts, and ensuring that your voice is heard.
