If you've experienced sexual abuse, start by confiding in friends or family for support, then consult a civil lawyer who specializes in sex crimes to evaluate your case and guide you through the reporting process.
Failing to consult a lawyer may lead to missed legal opportunities.
Reporting without legal guidance may complicate your case.
Assuming full consent could eliminate potential claims.
Not understanding your rights could result in inadequate representation.
Below is an AI-generated transcript of the video answer.
I don't think this question is complete about what happens when you report sexual abuse. I think the
first people you talk to is probably friends and family and they comfort you emotionally. I think
the next person you can talk to is probably a civil lawyer. In the civil lawyer role, number one,
evaluate whether there's a lawsuit or a case or a claim to be made. I mean there's a lot of
situations where there are, unless it's full honest consent, there probably will be. And number two,
they can help walk you through reporting it with the police or a detective or the district
attorney's office, something like that. So I'd always check with a personal injury attorney
who focuses on sex crimes and go with their advice and they can probably help guide you through
those types of cases.
