CSA ABUSE

🚨 Attention: Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse in California 🚨

If you experienced sexual abuse as a minor while under the care of a California-based institution, you may now be eligible to seek compensation and justice, even if the abuse occurred many years ago.

Recent changes in California law have opened the door for survivors to come forward and pursue legal action, regardless of how long ago the abuse took place. These legal reforms are designed to give survivors the time, space, and support needed to take meaningful steps toward healing.

🏛️ Who This May Apply To

You may qualify if the abuse took place while you were under the supervision or care of an institution such as:

• Juvenile detention facilities

• Public or private schools

• Churches, religious organizations, or youth ministries

• Foster care systems or child welfare agencies

• Group homes, shelters, or residential programs

• Summer camps, sports teams, or community programs

To be eligible, you must have been under the age of 18 at the time of the abuse.

✅ Eligibility Criteria for Legal Claims

To file a valid claim, the following conditions generally must be met:

✔️ The abuse was sexual in nature (not solely physical abuse or verbal harassment)
✔️ The perpetrator was someone affiliated with an institution (e.g., teacher, coach, priest, counselor, foster parent, or staff member)
✔️ You can identify the abuser by name, nickname, or a detailed physical description
✔️ If the abuse occurred in San Diego or San Bernardino counties, you must currently be under 39.5 years of age
✔️ You must not be a registered sex offender, and must not currently be represented by an attorney for this matter

⚖️ Even If It Happened Years Ago, You May Still Have Legal Rights

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse often carry trauma silently for many years. California lawmakers recognize this, and new laws now provide an extended timeframe for victims to come forward and file civil claims against institutions that failed to protect them.

This legal pathway is not only about financial compensation—it is about accountability, recognition, and reclaiming your voice.
