Sexual Abuse: Common Questions

Is it too late to come forward about abuse from years ago?

Possibly not. Many states have extended statutes of limitations for survivors or opened lookback windows reviving older claims. An attorney can tell you what deadlines apply in your state.

Will my case be kept confidential?

Attorney consultations are confidential, and many survivor cases can be filed using initials or pseudonyms. Ask the attorney you speak with about the privacy protections available in your state.

Can I sue an institution, not just the abuser?

Often yes. Schools, churches, youth organizations, employers, and other institutions can be held civilly liable when they negligently enabled, concealed, or failed to prevent abuse.
