Statler Youth Center Lawsuit Attorney

Yes, you can file a lawsuit if you were sexually abused at the Statler Youth Center due to negligence and/or misconduct by the people who were in charge of keeping you safe. This includes employees at the center, supervisors and administrators, and officials at the city level.

Typically, the party you are suing is the City of Perris, as the Statler Teen Center is a city-owned property. That means the city is responsible for staying on top of what goes on at the facility, like whether they are meeting health and safety standards. They must also take swift and decisive action when there are allegations of sexual abuse or signs of an inappropriate relationship between an adult and a child that is enrolled at the center.

In reality, these entities are slow to act, if they do act at all. Even more disturbing is the fact that actions are taken to protect the abusive staff member, rather than the victim. Or, they are interested in protecting their own jobs and reputations and ensuring that they continue to receive funding from the city. At the end of the day, personal and professional interests have priority over a child’s physical and emotional well-being, which is why sexual predators often apply for jobs and volunteer opportunities at these organizations.

If you are someone that was sexually abused at the Statler Youth Center, it’s not too late to fight for justice and hold the city accountable for their failure to protect you. Contact our law firm and schedule a free case evaluation with one of our legal experts.

Settling a Statler Youth Center sexual assault lawsuits normally take around 12 to 24 months. If there is a need to try your case in court, it can take 3 years or longer to resolve a lawsuit for the sexual abuse of a minor. But less than 5% of all sexual misconduct cases go to trial, so we expect that your case will be settled by exchanging settlement offers with the City of Perris. The problem is, we can’t predict just how long this will take, which is why the actual amount of time to reach a settlement can vary from just a few weeks to over 2 years. But we know from decades of experience that these are complex cases with specific legal requirements that only apply to lawsuits against the government. With that in mind, you are generally looking at a time period of at least 1 year to negotiate a settlement award.

As a minor at the time of the incident, you have 22 years to file a lawsuit from when you turn the age of consent under California law. Thus, people generally consider the age of 40 as the deadline to sue Statler Youth Center for child sexual abuse. If you are older than 40, though, is there any option for you to go ahead with a lawsuit?

Thankfully, there is a 5-year rule for injuries that are discovered by child sexual abuse victims after they are past the statute of limitations. Injuries can certainly involve physical harm, but these cases usually involve mental health issues that are common among children who repress incidents of sexual assault and exploitation. Suppression of trauma is extremely common with kids that come from low-income and dysfunctional backgrounds, though it can actually happen with victims of any age. Frankly, the vast majority of our clients don’t understand that these are injuries caused by sexual abuse until they start receiving therapy.

This is why there is no age limit for when you discover the physical or emotional harm from sex abuse during your childhood. You may be past the age of 40 by this point, but you still have 5 years to file a claim and seek the compensation you deserve from the City of Perris.
