Sexual abuse is any act of sexual contact that is non-consensual and is forced upon a person with violence, threats, fear, intimidation, or deception. Aggravating factors are the use of a deadly weapon, causing severe physical injury, or if the victim is vulnerable due to age or disability. Sexual abuse encompasses the behavior of an adult towards a child or another adult. Sexual victimization can take place between family members, at the workplace, in the classroom or professional offices, in social contexts, or over the internet. Sexual abuse is used to gratify the abuser sexually or to degrade the victim.

False Allegations of Sexual Abuse
Every allegation of sexual abuse should be taken seriously. However, oftentimes, there are accusations of sexual abuse when, in fact, it has not occurred. The underlying motives of the accuser may be revenge or gaining leverage in a court case. In a tumultuous divorce, an alleged victim may be battling for custody of a child, seeking monetary gains, or may want to damage the reputation of a former spouse.
Sometimes, a parent or another party may coerce or manipulate a child into making false allegations. Other reasons for false allegations may be mental health issues, actions or words taken out of context, or the desire to gain the attention or sympathy of others. At Perez LaSure Law, we thoroughly investigate every case for evidence of false allegations.
