We treat every victim of sexual abuse with utmost care and compassion

Sexual abuse is sexual activity that is deemed improper or harmful, as between an adult and a minor or with a person of diminished mental capacity. It is considered an especially heinous crime because the abuser usually occupies a position of trust. Extensive studies have clearly demonstrated the link between sexual abuse and psychological well-being, education, and earning capacity. At Flynn Merriman McKennon, we understand the complex nature of sexual abuse cases, and we treat every victim of sexual abuse with utmost care and compassion.

Oftentimes, these cases have a criminal component as well. We work together with the police and prosecutor's office as we prepare for our own civil suit. We often share files, witness statements, and information to aid in a unified approach to justice in these tragic cases.

Examples of our sexual abuse settlements:

• We obtained a $3.5 million settlement on behalf of several special needs children who were sexually abused at school by a staff person.
• We obtained a $450,000 settlement on behalf of seventeen young children emotionally and physically abused at a church daycare facility.
