Sexual assault is an act of violence and intimidation, and it can happen to anyone.
It can happen in the workplace, at school or college, at a bar or nightclub, in a church-related setting, even in hospitals and nursing homes.
Nearly 10% of all sexual assaults happen in school.
There are no national requirements for K-12 schools to track and disclose sexual assault, and study after study concludes that sexual violence in general is widely under-reported.

You have a right to see the justice you deserve. Connect with an Oregon law firm that will treat you with compassion, and work to hold those responsible accountable for the harm they caused you. Often, that is a wider net than the actual perpetrator.
Many times, there are negligent entities (for example, the location where the assault occurred) such as bars or restaurants, schools, college campuses, hospitals, the workplace, etc. Such entities have a legal responsibility to prevent sexual assault and protect victims. They may be held accountable for the harm incurred.

While no amount of financial compensation can ever completely right this wrong or erase the damage, civil damages can help victims of sexual misconduct regain control of their lives by paying for counseling that can help build a healthy future. Punitive damages may be pursued to punish the offender and deter others from committing acts of sexual abuse.
