New York Sex Abuse Lawsuits and Settlements

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, you have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both your abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse. For decades, schools, churches, and treatment centers have used a playbook to silence victims, destroying records, intimidating survivors, and using legal loopholes to dodge responsibility. But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

Sex Abuse Lawsuits Against Universal Health Services (UHS) in Illinois

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) has faced extensive litigation across the country, including in Illinois, where several of its behavioral health facilities have been implicated in lawsuits related to the sexual abuse of patients. Among the most notorious UHS-operated facilities in Illinois with documented abuse allegations are Riveredge Hospital, Streamwood Behavioral Health, Rock River Academy (now closed), and Pavilion Behavioral Health System. These facilities, designed to provide mental health treatment to vulnerable individuals, particularly minors, have instead become sites of widespread allegations of abuse, neglect, and administrative failures that allowed sexual predators to exploit patients under their care.

The UHS Model: Profits Over Patient Safety

Universal Health Services is one of the largest behavioral health providers in the United States, operating hundreds of psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient programs nationwide. However, its history is marred by repeated accusations of understaffing, inadequate supervision, and systemic failures to protect patients.

Kansas Sex Abuse Lawsuits News and Updates

June 11, 2025: A young woman from Allen County has filed a new lawsuit this week, bringing disturbing claims against a former sheriff’s deputy and the sheriff, who allegedly failed to protect her. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, alleges that former Allen County Deputy Tanner Lee Porter used the authority of his badge to stalk, groom, and repeatedly sexually assault the plaintiff, beginning when she was just 15 years old. According to the suit, Porter conducted this abuse while on duty, leveraging his role in law enforcement to intimidate the plaintiff and target her romantic partners. The plaintiff claims Porter began the relationship in 2020 and continued to abuse her well into 2021, often using county resources—including patrol vehicles and law enforcement databases—to monitor and control her movements.
