Institutional Sexual Assault Lawyer

At Betts Law Group, located in San Diego, we understand the profound impact institutional sexual assault can have on survivors.

Institutions—such as schools, hospitals, correctional facilities, or workplaces—are meant to be places of safety and trust. Sexual abuse by doctors, nurses, therapists, facility employees and others who are provided access to you for trusted treatment violates a patients trust. When that trust is violated, the effects can be devastating, not only to the survivors but also to their families and communities.

Our team of compassionate and skilled attorneys is here to ensure that your voice is heard and your rights are fiercely protected. At Betts Law Group, “Your Voice, Our Mission” is not just a tagline; it’s our promise to stand by you every step of the way in seeking justice and holding institutions accountable for their actions.

What is Institutional Sexual Assault?

Institutional sexual assault occurs when someone in a position of authority within an organization, such as a teacher, doctor, therapist, prison guard, or employer, abuses their power to exploit or assault someone under their care or supervision. Predators in institutional cases often seek out those most vulnerable, and are afforded these opportunities by the institutions that employ them through lack of background checks, training, or oversight. Betts Law Group works to hold the perpetrator and their employer accountable.

This type of assault often happens in environments where power dynamics are imbalanced, making it difficult for survivors to speak out. Grooming often goes hand in hand and can play a significant part in the survivor not understanding the scope of the transgressions at first.

The legal system can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Betts Law Group, we are dedicated to fighting for justice on your behalf and making sure institutions that fail to protect the vulnerable are held accountable.
