I need to respond to a civil lawsuit for a sex crime.

I will answer your question about a civil lawsuit for a sex crime.

To get straight to the point, a civil lawsuit for a sex crime is entirely possible.

Separately from the criminal case, the victim can file a civil lawsuit claiming damages for the mental and material harm caused by the sex crime.

This is a procedure for the victim to be compensated for the loss they suffered under tort liability in the Civil Act, regardless of whether the perpetrator is found guilty.

In a civil lawsuit, the judgment in the criminal case may have an influence, but a criminal guilty verdict is not necessarily required for civil liability to be recognized.

The civil court judges independently, and the burden of proof lies mainly with the victim.

Therefore, to avoid damages in the civil lawsuit, you, who have been identified as the perpetrator, must clearly prepare a responsive argument that refutes the victim's claims and evidence.

In addition, where a civil lawsuit is filed together while the criminal case is in progress, overlapping legal disputes may arise over the same facts, so it is important to respond by strategically linking the two lawsuits.

At our firm, a criminal attorney and a civil attorney collaborate, making a one-stop response of criminal defense and civil response possible.
