Landlord Sexual Assault – Sexual Abuse Lawyers

Sexual assault or sexual abuse are essentially umbrella terms that cover many different types of sexual misconduct towards a victim. Some examples could include the following:

• Rape and attempted rape
• Sodomy
• Any penetration with objects
• Forced kissing
• Forced touching, groping, fondling, etc.
• Forcing the victim to perform any sexual act on the attacker
• Forcing the victim to pose for explicit photos or videos
• Making sexual jokes or comments about the victim
• And more

Without a doubt, sexual abuse is one of the most traumatic things someone could suffer. Sexual attacks could result in significant physical, mental, and emotional harm.

Although every situation is different, victims may potentially experience some of the following:

• Pregnancy and complications related to pregnancy
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Injuries to genitals
• Injuries to reproductive organs
• Fractures, lacerations, sprains, scrapes, bruises, etc. (associated with the use of force or a physical struggle)
• Post-traumatic stress
• Anxiety
• Panic
• Fear
• Depression
• Increased risk of self-harm
• Increased risk of substance abuse

In addition, survivors of sexual abuse may experience long-term effects, such as the inability to form normal relationships, the inability to hold down a job, and more. No matter the specific harm that you or a loved one suffered due to landlord sexual abuse, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You could have the right to sue and receive compensation.

Were you abused by your landlord? If so, you could certainly have the right to file a civil lawsuit against the landlord for their intentional actions that injured you. If the landlord is associated with a specific company, you may also have the right to sue the company.

What if My Landlord Failed to Keep the Rental Safe? If you were abused by someone other than your landlord, you might have questions about the legal options available to you. Of course, you could pursue a claim against your attacker. However, you may still have grounds to file a claim against the landlord. That is, if there was a history of break ins, attacks, or if the premises was simply unsafe (i.e., no locks on gates, no locks on doors, broken windows, etc.) then the landlord could be liable and could be sued for sexual abuse. This is based on the responsibility that landlords have to keep their rentals safe for their tenants.

• Medical costs
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering

• And more
