  • @2NZ4: In the United States, the laws regarding civil lawsuits for sexual assault or exploitation of a minor by an adult are generally governed by federal and state laws. While there are some federal laws that provide civil remedies for victims of sexual abuse, the availability of such claims can be limited.

    Here are some key points:

    1. **Age of majority**: In California, a person becomes a legal adult (18 years old) at majority. However, until that age, a minor lacks the legal capacity to fully enter into contracts, including those that might lead to civil lawsuits.
    2. **Statute of limitations**: California's statute of limitations for age-related sexual abuse cases is typically 10 years (Penal Code §.. 801.5). This means that victims can file a civil lawsuit after 10 years have passed since the alleged assault.
    3. **Sexual predator protection act**: The federal Sexually Violent Predators Offender Registration and Targeted Community Safety Act (2000) requires states to identify and register sex offenders, including those committed when the victim was a minor. This law does not explicitly permit civil lawsuits against the perpetrator.
    4. **Survivor voice assignment**: In some jurisdictions, minors may be allowed to assign their survivor's rights in the in court in their later 18 year old, meaning a minor can be assigned to make a civil claim at 18.
    5. **Private vs. public acts**: In public cases involving minors and adults, the perpetrator might face criminal charges and civil lawsuits brought by the minor or their legal representative. However, in private cases, the law often favors confidentiality and protection for the minor.

    Consulting with an attorney who specializes in child sexual abuse or exploitation cases can provide personalized guidance on the specific laws and possibilities available in your situation.
