Sexual abuse is a devastating crime that causes long-lasting physical, emotional, and mental harm to victims. Sexual abusers often take advantage of their victims’ trust.
Sexual assaults may be committed by a caregiver, a coach, a church leader, a massage therapist, a family member, or a member of a community or volunteer group. The betrayal of trust and the assaults committed by a sexual abuser leave a wake of despair, humiliation, embarrassment, and often a lifetime of recovery from the trauma for the victim.
At GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, we feel called to seek justice for the innocent victims of sexual abuse, and we stand with survivors who seek accountability from the people and institutions who harmed them.
If you have been the victim of any type of sexual assault or abuse, you have the right to hold the abuser and any related institution or organization financially accountable. This will allow you to get the compensation you need to help put your life back together.
At GibsonSingleton, we understand that pursuing a sex abuse claim is difficult for victims and their families. When you meet with us, you will always be treated with respect and compassion. In fact, in Virginia, we can protect your identity throughout the legal process.
It’s important for you to know that Ken Gibson’s background includes extensive experience in prosecuting sexual crimes for both the Federal and Virginia State government, including sexual assaults, human trafficking, sexual crimes against minors, and sexual assaults committed by a government official. While serving as a prosecutor at the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, Ken served on the Violent Crime prosecution team, where he successfully prosecuted many high-profile rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault cases involving adults.
Ken also served on a prosecution team focused on prosecuting criminals who sexually assaulted children. The child sexual assault cases were extremely emotional and devasting to the young victims and their families, and Ken worked tirelessly to hold the defendants fully responsible for their horrific crimes.
Ken also served as a Federal prosecutor, participating in the investigation and prosecution of human traffickers who were forcing women to work as prostitutes under threat of harm to themselves and their families. In fact, Ken earned commendation from the Director of the FBI for his work in prosecuting a sexual assault offender while working at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

Sexual abuse is any incident or pattern of unwanted sexual behavior that involves force, manipulation, coercion, or threat. This may include putting someone in an undesired situation, forcing them to watch a sexual act, or any sexual contact that the victim does not agree to.
Sexual activities with a child or with someone who is mentally or physically incapacitated also constitute sexual abuse.
The perpetrator of sexual abuse can be the same sex or the opposite sex of the victim. And the abuse may result in extreme physical, psychological, and emotional pain for the victim.
Regardless of the type of relationship the victim has with the abuser, sexual abuse can happen. Examples of sexual abuse include rape, child molestation, and any form of sexual assault.
People who commit sexual abuse often hold a position of authority over the victim, such as supervisors, teachers, or clergy members. Sexual abuse can happen in all types of settings, including:
If you were a victim of sexual abuse, seeking financial restitution can be difficult. That’s probably why two thirds of sexual abuse cases go unreported. But you deserve compensation for your suffering. By seeking justice, you will also make it less likely that your attacker will abuse someone else in the future.
A personal injury claim is separate from any criminal case that may be filed by prosecutors. As your Virginia sexual abuse victim attorneys, we will investigate the incident and seek damages from your abuser and all other parties who should have reasonably prevented the abuse, such as employers, supervisors, or owners of the property where the abuse took place.
You may be eligible to receive the following types of compensation:

When Insurance Companies Won't Listen, These Lawyers Make Them
I was rear-ended by someone who didn’t see me slowing for traffic in front of her because she had a dog in her car and she was handling her dog instead of watching the road. She was cited and pre-paid her ticket (was undeniably at-fault for the accident). I was slammed so hard my car was slammed into the car in….
