About Sexual Abuse & Assault
Surviving sexual abuse or assault is deeply personal, and deciding whether to pursue a civil claim is entirely your choice. A civil case is separate from any criminal prosecution: it focuses on accountability and on the support a survivor may be owed, and it can sometimes hold an institution responsible for enabling or ignoring the harm. California has expanded the time survivors have to come forward, and confidentiality protections are available throughout the process. Whatever you choose, you deserve to understand your options. You can share only what you are comfortable sharing, and a California attorney can explain your rights with care and discretion.
You're safe to share what you're comfortable with — nothing here is required.
