California law defines child sexual abuse as any act that involves minors, as they are never able to consent. Sexual abuse can include physical acts like sexual assault, but it can also encompass non-physical acts like exploitation.
Examples may include:
Physical Sexual Assault: The legal definition for sexual abuse includes a wide range of horrifying acts such as rape, incest, oral sex, and sodomy. Sexual assault may include penetration with objects, fingers or genitals; sexual contact between the genitals and mouths of two people or between the genitals and mouths of another person; intentional touching of intimate areas or genitals in front of children.
Sexual Exploitation: The sexual exploitation of children includes depicting minors engaged in acts that are defined as sexual. Adults who encourage, coerce, or convince a child to take part in nude modeling or prostitution or assist others with a live sexual show are also included. It is also illegal to coerce a guardian of a minor into allowing the child’s participation.
Commercial Exploitation: This often involves sexual trafficking, as well as using shelter, food, or money to convince a child to perform sexual acts.

Children are not able to give sexual consent, which makes any such activity committed by an adult a crime. If you were victimized by a teacher, coach, administrator or other school employee, you have rights under the law. A civil lawsuit can be a means of securing financial damages for things like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and counseling/therapy expenses.
California survivors of school and childhood sexual abuse are no longer bound to a statute of limitations when bringing a civil action. If your abuse occurred after 2024, you technically have no deadline for bringing a claim (although it is recommended that victims speak to an experienced attorney about their case as soon as possible). If your school sexual abuse occurred before 2024, you have until your 40th birthday to file a civil lawsuit (or five years from discovering a resulting injury, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD). Reaching out to a Dordulian Law Group school sexual abuse lawyer today to discuss your case can be the best decision you ever make.
