Liability in a Sexual Abuse Case

Answer:

Sex abuse cases and human trafficking are rampant in the state of Florida. We got a call in our Lutz office recently from a victim of human trafficking. This is a very serious matter that speaks for itself. Your family is affected; the victim is affected emotionally and physically. The question the client asked us was, “Who’s liable?” Obviously, we have the perpetrator or the various individuals who were involved in the sex trafficking, but, in addition, there are also establishments, such as hotels and restaurants, that harbored the sex trafficking victim and may be liable.
