You may have a claim for civil sexual assault and battery claims and related personal injury claims. I just recently handled one such case on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not have to pay anything up front nor the attorney's hourly rate.
Whether you have a case a lawyer is willing top accept, depends on the facts. The burden of proof is lower in a civil case.
You should definitely seek a lawyer on this one. It is worth at least investigating further.
I am very sorry this happened to you and I hope you are able to heal both physically and emotionally from this terrible event.*
