Childhood Sexual Abuse

Childhood Sexual Abuse – Justice and Compensation for Survivors in California

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse often carry deep emotional scars that last a lifetime. If you were sexually abused as a minor while under the care of a California-based institution—such as a school, church, youth organization, foster care system, or sports program—you may be entitled to compensation and justice. In many cases, these institutions failed in their duty to protect children, either by ignoring warning signs, covering up abuse, or allowing known abusers to remain in positions of power.

California law now gives survivors more time and opportunity to come forward and seek justice. Whether the abuse happened years ago or more recently, new legal pathways, including extensions under California's Child Victims Act, allow victims to file claims even decades after the abuse occurred.
