Workplace harassment and sexual assault aren’t limited to Hollywood. Sexual abusers can come from all walks of life. It’s important to note that victims can be men, too. Oftentimes, men may feel even more reluctant to disclose sexual abuse or harassment, although the effects of sexual abuse for male victims are just as damaging as for female victims. Many victims may be confused about whether they consented to sexual contact or interactions, but a victim cannot truly consent if there are threats or coercion. You aren’t alone, and you may have legal options to bring your abuser to justice.
Professional counseling and therapy from someone trained to help survivors of sexual abuse can help you heal. And a personal injury lawyer who specializes in sexual abuse cases can help you fight for your rights against your abuser.
