Los Angeles is a hub for film, television, music, and digital media. While the entertainment industry may be characterized by glitz and glamor, many people have tragically experienced sexual abuse at the hands of powerful individuals preying on others’ hopes and dreams. If you have experienced abuse in a professional or casting setting, an experienced Los Angeles entertainment industry sexual abuse lawyer can help you pursue justice and hold others accountable.
Our team understands the complex legal and emotional challenges survivors face, particularly when facing powerful institutions to obtain justice and compensation. We provide confidential, trauma-informed legal support to those who have endured abuse by agents, producers, casting directors, executives, and/or others in positions of influence in Hollywood and the California entertainment industry.
Any knowledgeable Los Angeles abuse attorney could tell you that sexual abuse in the entertainment industry can take many forms. Common examples include:
Many people have been exploited in professional environments and/or private meetings under the pretense of career advancement, or they have been groomed and sexually exploited. Some individuals were pressured into silence through threats to their livelihood and/or public reputation. While several high-profile cases have led to a larger cultural reckoning, many survivors still suffer in silence.
California law provides powerful tools for survivors who want to seek justice and compensation. Under the California Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act (AB 2777), survivors can often pursue civil claims, even if abuse occurred years ago, in cases involving cover-ups by institutions like studios and agencies.
A knowledgeable California entertainment abuse attorney can help survivors of sexual abuse in the Los Angeles entertainment industry file civil lawsuits for damages related to emotional distress, lost income and professional opportunities, and medical expenses. These lawyers can also file claims against employers and organizations that failed to protect staff or performers.
Cases involving the entertainment industry can be high-profile, challenging, and emotionally complex. A survivor may face backlash, media scrutiny, or legal intimidation by powerful defendants. For this reason, it is essential that you work with a legal advocate in LA who has experience with sexual abuse in the entertainment industry.
