If someone broke Kansas’s statutory rape law and victimized you or your child, you have multiple legal options. You can cooperate with the police and press criminal charges against the perpetrator, potentially leading to a statutory rape conviction and penalties such as jail time. You can also file a civil lawsuit against the assailant in pursuit of financial compensation for related injuries and losses. Finally, you may be able to bring a claim against an institution, such as a school, summer camp or church, for allowing the statutory rape to take place.
