Please help me file a sex crime civil lawsuit.

Hello. This is the civil law specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

If you are suffering mental and physical pain due to sex crime damage, you may seek damages through a sex crime civil lawsuit, separately from criminal punishment.

The fact that the perpetrator has already been sentenced to imprisonment serves as strong evidence that the harmful act and its illegality have been recognized in the civil lawsuit, providing a favorable starting point for asserting civil liability.

In a sex crime civil lawsuit, you may claim medical expenses, future medical expenses, and consolation money (compensation for mental damage), and as in your case, where you have continuously received psychiatric treatment after the incident, the treatment records themselves serve as important evidence proving damage.

In particular, if you have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorder, depression, etc., and continue treatment, the court often recognizes substantial mental damage.

Also, criminal judgments, medical certificates, treatment records, prescription records, and counseling records serve as core materials proving the occurrence of damage and causation in sex crime civil lawsuits.

If the criminal case has already been finalized, the civil lawsuit usually focuses on the extent of damage and the scope of compensation rather than re-litigating the harmful acts themselves.

A sex crime civil lawsuit is a procedure for the victim's recovery and remedy of rights, so it has the meaning not only of monetary compensation but also of clarifying the perpetrator's responsibility and legally settling the damage.

However, since careful legal approaches such as calculating the claim amount, organizing evidence, and reviewing the statute of limitations are necessary, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a civil law specialist attorney from the early stages.

If you need specific guidance on what items can be claimed and up to what amount based on the current situation and treatment progress, and what procedures and timeline are expected in the lawsuit, we can provide a detailed review based on relevant materials.

We recommend seeking professional help to receive fair compensation through filing a sex crime civil lawsuit.
