Abuse Guardian and Mr. Haggard have worked together to bring victims this new service, and they have done so in the wake of a number of disturbing new statistics that showcase the spreading impact of explicit material sharing in schools in America, especially in boarding schools. According to Common Sense Media, 41% of children have been exposed to pornography at school during the school day, with the average age of first exposure being 12.
Additionally, Michael Haggard, Esq. has charted the rise of another form of sexual abuse, which is the sharing of personal materials like sexts, without consent. According to a recent study by The University of Calgary, 8.4% of teenagers reported having their sexts forwarded without consent.
Abuse Guardian and Mr. Haggard recognize that sexual abuse now encompasses both physical actions and those that take place in cyberspace, and they also recognize that the impacts of these forms of abuse can be just as devastating. This is why they are determined to now better assist these victims in bringing forth civil suits against their abusers and any boarding school that has failed to prevent or police abuse adequately.
Michael Haggard stresses that – while all victims deserve justice, and while he will always fight for the maximum damages in civil court – proving liability in a sexual abuse case is complex. Therefore, he recommends victims seek legal advice from experienced and specialized civil litigators and sexual abuse attorneys like himself who know how to best navigate these types of cases.
Abuse Guardian said, “Investing in a boarding school abuse lawyer is an important step in seeking justice for victims of sexual assault and abuse and holding institutions accountable for their actions. With experience, emotional support, and dedication to securing maximum compensation, working with a boarding school abuse lawyer can provide peace of mind and closure for those affected by these heinous crimes.”
