Why Should I Come Forward?

Sexual predators often silence their victims by convincing them that no one will believe them, or that they will be shunned by friends and family. They make their victims feel powerless. They threaten retaliation.

Reporting sexual abuse can be empowering. It can be a positive step that can benefit you and others.

Healing and Recovery: You can receive compensation to cover the care you need to overcome the life-altering scars left by childhood sexual abuse.

Justice: You can see that your abuser and his enablers are held responsible for their actions.

Prevention: Sexual predators and pedophiles rarely stop unless they are forced to. Coming forward can save other children from having to face what you have gone through.

Empowerment: By coming forward, you can reclaim your life.

A Word on the Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations is the time limit during which a person can bring a claim against someone who has wronged them. In most states, you may be prevented from bringing a sexual abuse lawsuit if too much time has passed since your abuse.

Given the seriousness of sexual abuse, some states have declared a moratorium on their statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases. Delaware has just done so and Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the District of Columbia are considering doing the same.

We represent victims of sexual abuse from all over the nation. If you suffered from sexual abuse many years ago, contact us, and we will determine whether you are able to sue for the wrongs committed against you.
