Sexual Abuse & Trafficking
Nationwide, brave boys, girls, men, and women are coming forward with allegations of abuse at the hands of those in positions of power and public trust. At Sandman Law, we recognize that revisiting this abuse may itself be traumatic.
We appreciate the trust our clients’ place in us and work hard to validate their faith. We value our clients’ anonymity and will work with you to determine your best course of legal action against those responsible.
Boyscout Abuse
Sandman Law represents hundreds of the more than 92,000 former Boy Scouts who allege sexual abuse by a scoutmaster. Courts have found evidence of the organization’s leadership attempting to cover up complaints of abuse while failing to report the criminal acts to the police.
Abuse by Clergy
Sandman Law represents many of the victims who have been sexually abused by their priests or other clergy. Even if this abuse happened decades ago, you may still be within your rights to pursue litigation against the institutions responsible – but your time is limited. We welcome your call to discuss your options.
Abuse in Academia, Music, & Film Industries
The new frontiers of sex abuse litigation are only just now being forged. If you have been abused by a person in positions of power or trust—perhaps a teacher or professor, or a record or film producer—please contact us to better understand your rights and remedies.
Trafficking with the Complicity of Hotels, Truck Stops, & Strip Clubs
All too often, abuse is made easier through the inaction of proprietors of the places where it occurs. This may include a roadside motel or a national hotel chain; a bar or strip club; or a truck stop or gas station. If you have been sold for sex and believe that a business’s owners or employees knew or suspected your abuse and yet did nothing to prevent it, we want to hear from you.
