Sexual Abuse of Children, the Elderly and Others

Have questions? Ask one of our Charleston sexual abuse attorneys for the answers.

The statistics are shocking. In our country one in every four girls and one in every six boys will be a victim of sexual abuse before the age of 18. One out of every five children are solicited sexually while on the Internet. Sadly, and far too often, our children who attend day care and other facilities responsible for the care of children in South Carolina including Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties are subjected to the risk of sexual molestation at the hands of those who are charged with protecting our children’s welfare.

Sexual molestation causes injury, the least of which is physical in nature. If your child is sexually molested in South Carolina, your child may have a civil claim against the day care, school, or other care giver who may have negligently allowed the sexual abuse to occur.

Sexual abuse cases are particularly complex matters. Charleston sexual abuse attorney Howell has experience handling such cases, and he knows the sensitivities that are common to each case, though every case is unique in many ways. If your child has been a victim of sexual abuse, don’t make the mistake of trying to deal with the offending institution by yourself. Give yourself the peace of mind that comes with hiring an experienced trial lawyer to represent you.
