Coach Sexual Abuse Cases in California

Sexually Abused Victims in California

Many children engage in sports activities and unfortunately, a sports team can provide opportunities for sexual abuse incidents to occur.  Manly & Stewart has established a worldwide recognized reputation for leading the way in pursuing civil actions against those who commit child sexual abuse and those who cover up the crimes.  In 2005, John Manly appeared in Amy Berg's award nominated documentary entitled "Deliver Us From Evil" which featured his role in the civil prosecution of a predator priest and the church officials who did nothing to stop continuing sexual abuse of children. 

We have vast resources and the experience necessary to take legal action against institutions that allow sexual abuse of children, including those acts committed by coaches and the supporting schools or sports organizations.  We have won large amounts in awards for our clients who suffered sexual abuse as children.  For information about child sexual abuse by coaches, contact a California sexual abuse lawyer with the understanding and compassion necessary to bring legal action against the responsible parties.

Civil Protection of Children

Child sexual abuse is a hideous crime but it happens every day across the United States and often goes unreported.  It is reassuring to know that a team of attorneys has dedicated themselves to representing clients sexually abused as children.  They are aggressive in their pursuit of justice yet respectful and understanding toward their clients.  A coaching situation is ideal for sexual predators because a coach can build trust in a child and has a degree of authority and influence with the children they are working with.  Coaches can be employees of schools or playgrounds, volunteers, or temporary help for sports activities.  A coaching position is a position of power over children and an offender can take advantage of the situation and turn it into an arena for child sexual abuse.  For those who seek legal action against the abuser, the benefits can include:

• Monetary compensation
• Satisfaction of justice served

Child abuse victims may always live with the repercussions of the acts against them, but they can feel some peace of mind knowing that the right action taken in the court system against a sex criminal can make a difference.  Make an appointment today for a consultation with one of our competent lawyers with Manly & Stewart.
