Troubled Teen Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

Troubled Teen Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

If you or a loved one experienced sexual abuse while in residential care through the troubled teen industry, you may be eligible to file a troubled teen sexual abuse lawsuit to recover compensation for damages. These programs purport to heal and help teens, and above all, have a responsibility to keep the youth in their care safe from harm. When a teenager experiences rape, sexual assault or sexual abuse of any form while in institutional care, it is well within the family’s rights to take legal action.

Sexual abuse lawsuits related to teen treatment programs involve survivors and their familes seeking legal recourse for the harm youth endured at the hands of negligent institutions and abusive staff members. These lawsuits aim to hold perpetrators accountable, secure compensation for survivors, and contribute toward systemic reforms to prevent future abuse. It is the fervent goal of our experienced attorneys handling troubled teen sexual abuse lawsuits to help youth and their families take a step toward healing by bringing the responsible parties to justice.

Troubled Teen Sexual Abuse Lawsuits Bring Institutions to Justice and Healing to Survivors

Sexual abuse lawsuits are directed at troubled teen institutions–whether boarding schools, wilderness therapy programs, or bootcamps–that failed to keep the youth in their care safe from sexual abuse. Filing a sexual abuse lawsuit enables survivors and their family members to hold troubled teen programs accountable for harm and seek compensation for the pain and suffering that have resulted. Filing a claim also serves to bring attention to what experts say is a widespread problem of sexual abuse in the troubled teen industry.

Sexual abuse in youth treatment settings can take many different forms. It includes but is not limited to:

• Any sexual contact between staff and student
• Grooming for emotional or sexual relationships
• Recounting of sexual experiences between staff and student
• Sexual assault, or any forced sexual contact
• The cruel and unusual use of strip searches and cavity searches
• Forced pelvic exams / virginity checks
• Forced sexualized behavior, reenactments of sexual assault and sexual shaming
• Viewing, photographing or filming nude teens; or showing pornographic images to youth
• Any methods used for the sole purpose of "conversion therapy" of LGBTQ+ youth.

Filing a lawsuit can be an important step in the healing process for victims of sexual abuse in the troubled teen industry. Teens harmed by an adult in an institutional setting may believe the abuse was deserved or was their own fault, leading to the teen deeply internalizing a sense of fear, inadequacy and anxiety. Unaddressed, these issues can lead to more severe problems such as addiction, depression, and self-harm. As hard as it is, confronting abuse head-on is best done sooner than later, and can ultimately lead to essential healing.

We believe no one should have to face these issues alone, and filing a claim is usually just one piece of the healing puzzle.

If you or your child experienced sexual abuse while enrolled in a residential troubled teen program, you may qualify to file a troubled teen sexual abuse lawsuit to recover compensation for damages resulting from the abuse. Filing a lawsuit is the only way to secure compensation for the pain and suffering that have resulted from these acts of harm.
