It often takes time for those who have suffered a sexual assault or sexual abuse to come forward and share their experiences, sometimes needing years or decades to be able to share their story.

This type of trauma leads to loss of bodily autonomy and may cause physical injuries, psychological and emotional trauma, and may cause quantifiable losses due to the effects of the damage and trauma upon their lives.

Because this type of trauma and loss can take years before the survivor is able to share their experience, for historical sexual assault situations, justice can be pursued as a civil case.

Because there may be a significant passage of time between the assault occurring and details being shared, historical sexual assault cases can be complex and challenging- therefore an experienced and understanding lawyer is needed.
