What is Considered Sex Abuse in Rhode Island

Sexual assault or abuse is defined as intentional sexual touching or contact without the other person’s consent and for the purpose of sexual gratification, arousal, or humiliation. In the context of a civil lawsuit, sexual abuse or assault is often referred to as sexual battery, and it can range from groping a breast to rape.

Teens around the country who might be struggling with mental health or behavioral issues are sent to “treatment” centers and programs that have seriously misled parents into believing the centers are for rehabilitation, treatment and education, when in reality many of these students are neglected, and abused sexually, physically, and emotionally. They also face kidnapping to remove them from their homes, forced labor, a lack of education, medication abuse, and damaging isolation from family and peers.

As a result, these survivors suffer serious damages, including suicide, suicidal ideations, PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance misuse, trust issues, physical manifestations of injuries and significant economic loss and damages. The TTI is a $23 billion private industry that is unregulated. The hundreds of programs and facilities are in states across the country and under the parent umbrella of approximately half a dozen to a dozen entities. The abuse has recently been exposed on the Netflix show called The Program and by Paris Hilton, who was forced to attend one of these programs in her teens.

Victims of sexual abuse in rehabilitation or other trouble teen treatment facilities are now fighting back by filing civil lawsuits against the facilities that failed to protect them. Our national sex abuse lawyers are currently investigating and accepting troubled teen and teen rehab sex abuse cases across the country.
