Common Forms of Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse encompasses any non-consensual sexual activity that violates an individual’s sexual autonomy and integrity. Common forms include:

• Contact Sexual Abuse: Physical interactions imposed without consent, such as unwanted touching, groping, fondling, sexual assault, or rape.
• Non-Contact Sexual Abuse: Sexual harm without physical contact, including sexual comments, advances, exposure to sexual acts, or voyeurism.
• Coercive Sexual Abuse: Using threats, manipulation, or authority to compel sexual activity. This includes blackmail or exploiting trust to force compliance.
• Sexual Exploitation: Exploiting someone for sexual purposes, often for financial or personal gain, including child exploitation or forced prostitution.
• Online Sexual Abuse: Sexual harassment or exploitation through digital platforms, including cyberstalking, online solicitation, or other forms of abuse facilitated online.

Nevada Sexual Abuse Laws

Victims of sexual abuse in Nevada have legal options in addition to pursuing criminal charges. Survivors can file civil lawsuits seeking compensatory damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. In cases involving particularly egregious misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the abuser and deter future abuse.

Survivors may also seek civil protection orders, which legally prevent the perpetrator from contacting or approaching them. These orders provide immediate and long-term protection, and the court can impose specific conditions, including distance restrictions and no-contact provisions.

Additionally, Nevada provides access to victim support programs that can assist with medical bills, therapy, and other costs associated with recovery. Reporting abuse to law enforcement is a critical step to access these services, begin criminal proceedings, and protect others from harm.

Filing a Sexual Abuse Claim in Nevada

Sexual abuse claims often require careful preparation and evidence collection. To succeed in a civil claim, survivors generally need to establish:

1. Duty of Care: Demonstrating that the abuser had a responsibility to protect the victim, often applicable to caregivers, teachers, clergy, or other authority figures.
2. Breach of Duty: Showing that the abuser violated that duty through sexual misconduct or exploitation.
3. Causation: Proving a direct link between the abuse and the physical, emotional, or financial harm suffered.
4. Damages: Providing evidence of the injuries or losses resulting from the abuse, including medical records, therapy reports, witness testimony, and expert evaluations.

Nevada law also allows survivors of childhood sexual abuse to pursue civil claims without the constraints of a statute of limitations, offering justice even decades after the abuse occurred.

Recoverable Damages in Sexual Abuse Cases

Victims of sexual abuse in Nevada can seek compensation for a wide range of damages:

• Medical expenses for treatment of physical or mental health conditions
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress and PTSD
• Loss of quality of life
• Punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct

Sexual abuse can profoundly affect a survivor’s life, resulting in long-term emotional, psychological, and financial consequences. Our attorneys are committed to securing compensation that addresses all aspects of your harm.
