What is Sexual Assault?
Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity that is non-consensual by one person upon another.
In most cases, sexual abuse is committed by intimidation, threats, coercion, or force, and may include:
- Drug-Facilitated Assault
- Intimate Partner Violence
- Rape
- Sexual Assault of Minors
- Unwanted Touching
Most people know that coerced or forced sexual assault may be punishable with criminal charges.
What most people do not know is that sexual predators can also be held liable in civil court, which allows survivors to pursue financial compensation for their injuries.
Sexual Predators Often Hold Trusted Positions in Our Communities
At Mancini Law Group P.C., our lawyers know that sexual predators prey on vulnerable victims, including children, teenagers, adults, and even the elderly.
Sexual predators can be strangers, acquaintances, neighbors, close friends, coworkers, leaders, and even family members who take advantage of the trusted positions they hold in our lives.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to identify a sexual predator on sight, but they often have access to our most vulnerable residents because they are in positions of trust throughout our communities.
They may include, but are not limited to:
- Childcare providers
- Counselors
- Coaches and sports staff
- Drug and alcohol addiction treatment staff
- Healthcare Professionals
- Clergy
- Organized group leaders
- Teachers and Educators
When organizations fail to run background checks on dangerous individuals and place them in a trusted role around children or other vulnerable members of society, sexual assaults can happen anywhere.
Including:
- Churches
- Camps
- Schools
- Extracurricular events
- Treatment and rehabilitation centers
- Nursing homes
- Apartment complexes
- Hotels
- Private homes
- Professional offices
- Workplaces
- Work-release homes and centers

Sexual Assault Can Happen Anytime, Anywhere, and is Not Your Fault
Sexual predators work hard to hide their behavior and often use their surroundings to help cover up any possibility of being found out, including shaming or threatening their victims to remain quiet.
Some predators may change jobs or move to a different volunteer organization before the abuse is discovered, which is why sexual assault is so difficult to identify.
At the Mancini Law Group, P.C., we can help our clients hold these predators accountable and stop them from hurting anyone else while pursuing each financial recovery option available, which may include pursuing the predator, the business, or the organization that allowed the abuse to occur or covered it up.
We know how difficult it is to tell your story and promise that we will listen with compassion and care, so you understand that we are here to help you take your life back, so you can move forward with confidence.
