Former KROQ 106.7 DJ Rodney Bingenheimer has been accused by 6 women of sexually assaulting them while they were teenagers. Bingenheimer, who is well known as the host of the \u201cRodney on the ROQ,\u201d faces accusations that go back several decades, including an incident involving guitarist Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go\u2019s. <\/p>\n

Her story was publicized in a report by Rolling Stones on December 11, 2023. According to Wiedlin, the DJ sexually assaulted her at the English Disco nightclub in 1974. She said she had no idea that what happened to her was a crime. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until the #MeToo movement started when I realized I was sexually assaulted by [an adult] when I was 15,\u201d said Wiedlin.<\/p>\n

Aside from Jane Wiedlin, 5 other women have come forward with sexual abuse allegations against Bingenheimer during their teenage years<\/a>. One of the five women \u2013 songwriter Kari Krome \u2013 filed a lawsuit against Bingenheimer earlier this year. <\/p>\n

We have no doubt that more victims will come forward, considering Rodney Bingenheimer\u2019s long and extensive career as a famous DJ. As a victim of sexual assault during childhood, you have the right to sue for medical expenses, emotional distress, and other monetary damages. The sexual abuse lawsuit attorneys of DTLA are here to guide you through the legal process, which you can learn about during a free, confidential case review. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Can I File a Lawsuit for Sexual Abuse of a Minor?<\/span>\n

Yes, you can sue for sexual abuse that occurred while you were under 18 years old, meaning you were under the age of consent in California. However, it\u2019s important to understand who you can sue in these situations. If you were sexually assaulted by DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, you can surely file a lawsuit against him directly, but there may be other parties that are liable, which include event organizers and owners of the venue where you were attacked. <\/p>\n

For example, Jane Wiedlin claimed that she was assaulted by the DJ at a nightclub, which makes sense considering their connections to the music industry. However, the English Disco is one of many locations where Bingenheimer has worked in and frequented over the years.<\/p>\n

Did owners of these clubs know about or suspect sexual abuse by Rodney Bingenheimer? Were there complaints from multiple victims that were not reported to the police? Did owners and event organizers hide evidence of sexual abuse to protect their profit margins, thereby enabling a sexual predator?<\/p>\n

Such issues relate to the concept of negligence, or a failure to exercise reasonable care for the purpose of protecting others from an injury. Nightclubs, for example, must have adequate security on the premises, like surveillance cameras and security personnel. If they receive complaints about assault and other incidents that can put people at harm, they must take immediate action to protect their patrons. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s a well-known fact that many of these businesses cover up incidents of sex abuse, even when they involve underage victims. However, adult survivors of sexual assault may still have the chance to file a legal action and seek compensation from the responsible individuals. For legal advice from an experienced child sexual abuse lawsuit attorney, contact our office. <\/p>\nStatute of Limitations to Sue for Sexual Assault While You were a Minor<\/span>\n

Child sexual assault lawsuits must be filed by the victim\u2019s 40th<\/sup> birthday, which is 22 years after they turn 18 years old. This is based on the fact that 18 is the age at which individuals in California can legally consent to sexual activity. Keep in mind, however, that the amount of time you have to sue for sexual abuse is not always limited to a certain number of years. <\/p>\n

Many people who are abused sexually during childhood repress memories of the abuse, as they have a limited understanding of what happened to them, as well as their rights under the law. Sadly, continued repression of traumatic incidents can lead to mental health disorders. It\u2019s likely that at some point, the victim will seek help for these issues, but this may happen when they\u2019re past the age of 40. <\/p>\n

With help from a licensed counselor, they may finally realize how one or more incidents of sexual assault are connected to their current psychological injuries<\/a>. Now that they have made this connection, i.e., discovery of a sexual abuse-related injury, they have 5 years to sue the liable entities for monetary damages.<\/p>\n

If you are confused about any of the information we\u2019ve presented here, don\u2019t worry. Our lawyers are happy to sit down with you and provide a detailed explanation on how long you have to sue for sexual assault by Rodney Bingenheimer. <\/p>\nHow Much is the Average Settlement for these Cases?<\/span>\n

On average, you can receive anywhere from 1,500,000 USD to 5,000,000 USD from a lawsuit if you were less than 18 years old at the time of the abuse. This estimate range refers to cases of assault, meaning there was physical contact of a sexual nature between you and the defendant. If, on the other hand, you were subjected to acts of sexual harassment, the value of a sexual abuse lawsuit<\/a> may be around 450,000 USD to 1,000,000 USD. In cases with extreme injuries and negligence by the responsible parties, case values may exceed 10,000,000 USD.<\/p>\n

Though many people contact us to ask about average case values for sexual assault lawsuits, it\u2019s more important to figure out what your own lawsuit is worth. We have a team of experienced attorney that can help you calculate the amount you may receive from a child sexual abuse lawsuit. Contact us today and schedule a free case evaluation with one of our attorneys. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How Long Does it Take to Settle a Sexual Assault Lawsuit?<\/span>\n

Cases involving the sexual abuse of a minor take 12 to 24 months to settle for the most part, though the actual timeline depends on many factors that are beyond our control. Recent incidents of abuse with strong evidence may be settled within 6 months, but most of these cases take at least 1 year. As you have probably guessed, lawsuits that progress to a court proceeding will take the longest to resolve. Due to the court\u2019s schedule, the number of required hearings and other issues, going to a court proceeding can add 1 or more years to the settlement process. <\/p>\n

Based on our experience, less than 5% of all sex abuse lawsuits are tried in court, meaning we will most likely reach a settlement in your case. But how long this process will take is not something we can predict ahead of time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
