Who Is Accountable For Sexual Assault

Of course, the offender who sexually assaulted you will be the one held accountable for their atrocious actions. But when it comes to cases that involve clergy or other public members, the institutions may share liability for failing to protect the survivor from harm. Examples of institutions that may be responsible for not protecting the person could be a school or university, medical practice or hospital, property owner, government entity, sports organization, church, company, corporation, or religious organization. If you have questions about this, we can investigate further into your situation and let you know who to list as additional liable parties for your case.
