New York Rape Attorney

Representing Rape and Sexual Abuse Victims and their Families

Rape is a crime of violence, regardless of who is committing it. When a rape is perpetrated by a person in authority or trust against an innocent victim, it becomes even more outrageous and tragic for the victim whose trust has been betrayed. In these cases, a rape can be committed by a family member, stepparent, religious leader, priest, caregiver, school teacher, doctor, health provider, or other person entrusted with the care of the victim. The rape victim may be unwilling to come forward out of shame, disbelief, or other psychological distress. In some cases, such as with children, the memory of the rape is so traumatic that it is blocked for years, even a lifetime.

In the case of any sexual abuse, the perpetrator should be brought to justice and punished for the crime to deter him or her from further crimes, to provide closure for the victim, and to provide financial compensation for the suffering caused to the victim and his or her family. This involves legal action, which a New York rape lawyer at Franks LLC can initiate.
