Can I press charges against my abuser?

Yes, you can press charges against your abuser. Your first step is to file a police report and they will take your witness statement and take any evidence that you collected like DNA samples or other similar Evidentiary samples. In addition, you may have a lawsuit against your abuser for sexual molestation and battery, and a lawsuit against any of his accomplices that allowed the abuse to go on on the theory of negligence. Furthermore, you should document your injuries by seeing on a continuous basis a psychologist or other psychiatric medical professional to work through your issues and to prove that you have suffered emotional distress and mental anguish damages from these occurrences. Discuss your civil case with counsel on contingency fee, which means you don't pay anything unless you win the case. I have many years of experience doing sexual abuse cases in civil court, and I associate with counsel in California on my California sexual molestation cases.
