What Do I Do Next?

The traumatic events you endured are extremely emotional and frightening. Pursuing justice is an important part of getting closure in any sexual assault case. The perpetrator should face criminal court and hopefully will be punished through the state's criminal justice system. Reporting the crime to the police at once is important, as they can preserve evidence that can be of benefit to them in getting the perpetrator convicted. You also have the right to file a claim against them in civil court. You may even file a claim against the owner of the property where the incident took place. Store owners, church supervisors and other groups owe the community a duty of care to provide a safe environment for any individual that is under their care or a guest or employee of their organization. A lawyer can provide you with experienced legal representation if you are a victim of sexual assault.
