Defining Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse includes any unwanted sexual behavior or contact, regardless of age, setting, or relationship. It’s not just about physical acts—it also includes coercion, manipulation, threats, and abuse of power.
Common forms include:
- Childhood sexual abuse or molestation.
- Rape or attempted rape.
- Sexual harassment in the workplace or school.
- Sex trafficking or exploitation.
- Abuse by authority figures such as clergy, teachers, or correctional officers.
If it happened without your full, informed, and free consent—it was abuse.

Sexual Assault & Sexual Abuse Lawyers FAQ
What if the sexual abuse happened years ago?
Many survivors don’t remember, disclose, or report the sexual abuse right away. Thankfully, laws in many states now give survivors more time to file. We can help you understand the time limits in your state.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many sexual abuse cases settle confidentially before trial. But if a trial is the best way to get justice, we’ll be ready—and by your side.
Can I sue an institution (like a school, church, or company)?
Yes. If an organization failed to protect you, ignored warnings, or enabled the sexual abuser, they can be held legally and financially responsible.
What does it cost to work with Rectifi?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency basis, which means you only pay us if we win your case.
Will my case be kept private?
Your privacy is our priority. We handle every case with care and discretion. Anything you share with us is private and confidential.
Can sexual abuse survivors file a lawsuit if there are no criminal charges?
Yes, you can pursue justice in civil court even if the police do not file criminal charges or if a jury finds reasonable doubt in criminal cases. A civil sexual assault case has a lower burden of proof and focuses on securing financial recovery for your medical bills and emotional trauma. Contact a sexual assault lawyer to learn how a sexual abuse lawsuit can hold a perpetrator accountable outside of the criminal legal system.
How do sexual assault attorneys gather evidence for a case that happened years ago?
Sexual assault cases that occurred years ago can still be investigated using the legal process to obtain internal documents, medical records, and testimony from other survivors. Our sexual assault attorneys have experience identifying and gathering evidence that may show how an employer, school, or other institution failed to take reasonable steps to protect you from sexual misconduct or violence. You can request a free and confidential consultation with a sexual abuse attorney to learn more about how evidence is developed in these cases.
What kind of help is available for child survivors of sex abuse?
Child survivors of sexual abuse may face long‑term challenges that can include ongoing medical needs and other financial impacts. Legal representation can help families explore civil options for addressing these losses. Rectifi, powered by DiCello Levitt lawyers, represents survivors of sexual abuse by pursuing personal injury claims that seek compensation related to medical expenses, future care, and overall well‑being. A confidential consultation with an attorney can help you understand how our team represents survivors and their families and approaches these sensitive cases.
Can I remain anonymous while I seek justice for being sexually assaulted?
Civil courts may allow plaintiffs in sexual assault cases to proceed under a pseudonym in certain situations. Sexual assault attorneys can explain whether requesting anonymity is an option and how privacy concerns are addressed during the civil lawsuit.
