Why The Civil Justice System is Crucial for Sexual Abuse Survivors

Why The Civil Justice System is Crucial for Sexual Abuse Survivors


Every 73 seconds, someone is sexually assaulted in the US.

Every nine minutes, one of those individuals is a child.

Only 5 in every 1000 perpetrators end up in prison.

Very often, the ONLY way victims can expose predators, prevent crimes and get justice is by filing a civil lawsuit.
