Los Angeles Sexual Abuse of Elderly Lawyers

Sexual Abuse in Los Angeles Nursing Homes

There are many forms of abuse that an elderly patient may face when they are admitted into a Los Angeles nursing home or placed under a paid caretaker. It is an unfortunate event when a family finds out that their loved one has not only been neglected or abused while in the care of a professional elder care provider. One form of abuse their loved one may have experienced is that of sexual abuse.  Sexual abuse occurs in many different ways and is not limited to actual molestation or intercourse. It may include that of sexual harassment or unwanted sexual advances.

Who is Liable for Sexual Elder Abuse in California?

Any person who sexually abuses an elderly person or anyone for that matter is in direct violation of the law and of that person’s constitutional rights. It could be a paid care taker or a Nursing Homes Staff member that is guilty of sexual abuse and they should be held accountable by the law. Sadly cases involving this kind of abuse do not get reported as often as they should because of the emotional upset and public embarrassment that is associated with this kind of abuse.  Sexual abuse victims should report any inappropriate action or advance which was made toward them and if they are unable to report this wrongful act their family should do so.
