What Constitutes Sexual Abuse in Washington State?

Sexual abuse occurs when one individual is subjected to sexual contact or behavior without consent. This can include:

• Contact Sexual Abuse: Unwanted touching, groping, sexual assault, or rape.
• Non-Contact Sexual Abuse: Voyeurism, exposing oneself, sexual harassment, or unwanted advances.
• Coercion or Manipulation: Threats, blackmail, or misuse of authority to force sexual acts.
• Exploitation: Taking advantage of someone for sexual purposes, often for financial or personal gain.
• Online Sexual Abuse: Cyberstalking, sexual solicitation, or harassment via digital platforms.

In Washington, consent is legally defined as a freely given agreement to sexual activity. Consent cannot be given under threats, coercion, intoxication, unconsciousness, or if the individual is underage or otherwise incapable of making a decision.

Legal Protections and Remedies

Survivors in Washington State have the right to pursue both criminal and civil actions. Criminal cases can hold perpetrators accountable and may include felony charges such as first-, second-, or third-degree rape or indecent liberties.

Civil claims allow survivors to seek damages for:

• Physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Medical expenses, including counseling and therapy
• Lost wages or diminished earning capacity
• Loss of quality of life
• Punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct

Washington law also provides specific protections for minors and allows civil lawsuits to be filed within extended or tolled time limits, particularly for childhood sexual abuse. Our attorneys can help you navigate complex statutes of limitations and ensure your claim is filed on time.

Reporting Sexual Abuse and Protecting Your Rights

If you are a survivor, immediate steps can protect both your safety and your legal rights:

1. Contact Law Enforcement: Report the abuse to local police or call 911 for urgent help.
2. Seek Medical Attention: Address any injuries and obtain documentation.
3. Document Evidence: Keep records of any communications, photos, or witness statements.
4. Consult an Attorney: Experienced Washington sexual abuse lawyers can guide you through the legal process and advocate on your behalf.

Early reporting can be critical, particularly for cases involving minors, foster children, or institutional abuse, where swift action can prevent further harm.
