Dordulian Law Group Obtains Multimillion-Dollar Settlement for Survivor Raped After Meeting Man on ‘Sugar Daddy’ Website

Oct 9, 2020

With the number of intimate relationships forming online increasing, a new trend in rape cases is emerging. A young woman being sexually assaulted by an older, often wealthy and powerful man is a common scenario. But the frequency of these types of cases is increasing, as are the inherent complexities when pursuing a legal claim. The rise in online dating combined with hookup culture and “sugar daddy” websites is said to be impacting societal and sexual norms. A common question we hear from potential new clients is: “If I was raped by an ex-boyfriend/former partner, can I file a lawsuit?” DLG’s recent multimillion-dollar settlement demonstrates an important point that everyone needs to know and understand – consent is mandatory in every sexual relationship.
