Understanding Sexual Abuse Under Colorado Law
Sexual abuse can take many forms, from harassment and unwanted touching to assault and exploitation. Colorado law recognizes the profound harm caused by these acts and provides both criminal and civil avenues for accountability.
Key points survivors should know:
- Broad Definitions: Colorado law covers a wide range of misconduct, including sexual assault, groping, harassment, and exploitation.
- Civil vs. Criminal Cases: Criminal cases seek to punish offenders through the justice system, while civil claims allow survivors to pursue compensation for the harm they suffered.
- Statutes of Limitations: Survivors generally have a limited time to file civil claims. Recent changes to Colorado law may allow claims based on abuse that occurred years ago. An attorney can explain how the statute of limitations applies to your situation.
Understanding your legal options is the first step toward reclaiming power over what happened. Our Lakewood sexual abuse lawyers will help you explore every avenue available to seek justice and recovery.
