For many sexual assault and sexual abuse victims, justice is never served or even pursued in criminal court. Some are hesitant to report the crime due to embarrassment or a misplaced sense of loyalty to the perpetrator. Others may feel unable to withstand the scrutiny of a criminal investigation and trial. For those that do seek justice in the criminal system, the process may not be enough to provide for full justice for their emotional and physical injuries. Whether or not your case is prosecuted in the criminal courts, you have a separate and distinct right to seek compensation for your injuries in the civil courts.

Yes. Criminal cases are meant to hold the perpetrator criminally accountable and to punish them for their actions. Civil cases are meant to make the victim “whole” in the form of compensation. Civil cases often follow or accompany criminal cases in this field.
