Yes. Adult victims of sexual abuse can also sue responsible parties to get fair compensation. In reference to compensating a victim in the form of monetary damages, the victim is suing to make themselves “whole” and to try and redress the wrong that has been done to them.
The New Jersey law permits lawsuits even against certain types of organizations that historically have been immune from civil actions for compensation. These organizations can be held retroactively accountable for willful, wanton, or grossly negligent acts resulting in sexual abuse. This includes situations where churches, the boy scouts, schools, and other organizations failed to take steps to stop the abuse and for negligent supervision and training.
Yes. The organization that hired and supervised your abuser can be held retroactively accountable for the actions of the employee. This means that the church can be made to pay for sexual abuse perpetrated by the clergy and a school can be made to pay for sexual abuse perpetrated by teachers. Generally, the organization itself has a duty to take steps to prevent and stop sexual abuse. Years later, when it has become apparent that many organizations have failed in this duty, they can still be held financially responsible.
