Who Is Liable?

The perpetrator of sexual assault is always at fault for his or her actions – the fault never rests with the survivor. In court, the survivor can prove fault by establishing a preponderance of the evidence. Even in cases where the perpetrator believed that the other party had given consent, such as in cases of statutory rape, the perpetrator can still be liable for his or her actions.

If the sexual assault occurs in the workplace, California has strict liability laws for cases involving supervisor sexual harassment and assault. This means that the workplace is also liable for any actions taken by its supervisors, expanding the number of potential parties a survivor may seek compensation from. Both in and out of the workplace, other individuals that help facilitate or allow sexual assault to occur can also be liable.
