Filing a Civil Lawsuit for a Sexual Assault or Rape

Many people are unaware that victims of physical or sexual assault in New York may be able to seek justice against the perpetrator in both civil and criminal court.

When someone files a civil lawsuit, it’s because the victim has experienced financial, physical, and emotional harm due to the defendant’s actions. The outcomes of a civil case are completely independent of the results of a criminal case.

The primary goal of a civil suit is to provide compensation to the victim. Instead of proving the defendant's guilt, the focus is on persuading the judge or jury that the defendant should compensate the victim for the harm caused. This must be demonstrated by a preponderance of evidence.

Initiating a Criminal Case After a Sexual Assault or Rape

You cannot file a lawsuit in criminal court, but you can report the crime to the authorities and request an investigation. The primary objective of initiating a criminal case is to ensure the responsible party faces the consequences of their actions. If authorities uncover evidence of sexual assault or rape, they can file charges against the perpetrator. If convicted in criminal court, the offender can face imprisonment, fines, and other severe penalties.

Regardless of whether the assault was committed by a family member, an authority figure, or someone you trusted as a close friend, they must be held accountable and face criminal charges.

What Types of Compensation Are Victims Entitled to After a Sexual Assault or Rape?

It’s true—every lawsuit is unique. This is particularly true when it comes to the complexities of sexual assault and rape cases.

However, in general, victims are entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses

  • Therapy and counseling costs

  • Lost wages

  • Loss of future earning potential

  • Emotional distress

  • Psychological impact

The court may also award punitive damages to victims of sexual assault and rape. These damages are intended to punish the defendant for their actions and serve as a deterrent, discouraging them from committing similar offenses in the future.
