Caring for children is a huge responsibility. When a child is abused by the people who were trusted to care for him, the victim can experience devastating consequences for the rest of his life.
In recent years, we’ve all become more aware of how often these tragedies occur. As a society, we are just now beginning to understand the number of children who have been violated by people in positions of authority over them.
That’s why Virginia has expanded the statute of limitations for bringing forward these cases to 20 years, which starts when the victim reaches 18 years of age. In other words, if you were abused as a child, you may have until you are 38 years old to file a suit against those responsible.

At GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, we can file civil actions against the abuser, their employers, and related entities to help you get the financial compensation you need to put your life back together.

Child sexual abuse is any interaction between a child and an adult in which the child is used for sexual gratification. This includes all forms of inappropriate touching, but it may also involve non-touching behavior such as exposing oneself to a child, or exposing the child to pornography.
Examples of child sexual abuse include:
Victims of sexual abuse can suffer a lifetime of anguish. That’s why it’s essential they receive professional treatment. Sadly, victims are often reluctant to come forward for many reasons.
When they are young, victims may fear retaliation from their abusers, who may threaten to harm them if they tell anyone about it. It’s also common for abusers to manipulate their victims into remaining silent by telling them they have a “special secret” that they should not reveal.
As victims grow older, they are likely to grapple with intense feelings of shame. Many victims never come forward. But it’s crucial to seek counseling to prevent the negative symptoms of childhood sexual abuse that can develop over time, such as:
People who commit heinous crimes against children and those who enable them must be held accountable for the harm they cause. Coworkers, administrators, owners of daycare centers, and anyone else who knew or should have known about the abuse can be held accountable.
In child sexual abuse cases, liability extends to those who are guilty of poor supervision, careless hiring policies, and the retention of abusive employees. An experienced Virginia daycare sexual abuse victim attorney will conduct a full investigation so that we can hold all the guilty parties responsible for the pain endured. Then we’ll file claims against their insurance companies to help you recover damages for the following:
