Yes, you have to file where it occurred. There are specific statutes that apply to your situation and they have specific provisions for the damages to which you are entitled if you prevail. You should consult with an attorney about these so that you can file papers that put forth the proper... Read more »
I was involved in a domestic violence/sexual assault incident with someone whom was once close to me. I wrote to him "If you do not pay me back, I will have you arrested". I did not know of extortion, so I didn't know it would be an issue until the detective on my case brought it up.... Read more »
You committed extortion when you threatened to call the police if you were not paid. That does not change whether you have a meritorious and valuable legal claim for the wrongdoing that was being done. It just gives the "victim" of the extortion the right to file a lawsuit against you,... Read more »

My mom is a victim of child molestation and my family defends the man who did it- he remains in the family
The age of consent, at the time applying only when the girl is the younger party, was 10 when California introduced its Penal Code in 1850. In 1889 the age of consent was raised to 14. In 1897 the age of consent became 16. The age of consent in California has been 18 since 1913. Some media sources... Read more »

Hello,
A family member of mine is being falsely accused of Sexual Harassment as well as the Molestation of a minor, who has been a legal adult for several years now. It is, without a doubt, a false allegation because these people that are accusing him have been trying to harm my family for... Read more »
This is far too serious to be dealt with on a short answer internet Q&A site. Your family member needs a specific, confidential consultation. First and foremost he or she needs to consult with a criminal defense attorney because the accusation is a serious crime. You and this person need to... Read more »

The same way everybody else proves discrimination: documents and witnesses. It's unclear why it would be hard to gather this evidence since you claim it happened at least partly through Instagram, which is generally public.
Hello.
My name is Martin. I would like information in regards to filing a defamataion case against my employer. I have received final vacation pay and my employee status on ADP states "Terminated". I have not received any paper work from my employer. I believe that the termination... Read more »
Unfortunately there is nothing in your post that would suggest that you have a meritorious claim for defamation against your employer.
First, the employee who accused you of sexual harassment had a protected right to do so, and your employer has a legal duty to take her charge seriously.... Read more »
Hello, I'm not sure if I need a lawyer. I'm the victim in a sexual assault case. I've already reported to the police & have a detective assigned to my case. I've also been connected to a victim advocate. I'm trying to make the most informed decisions possible regarding... Read more »
If you aren't interested in pursuing a civil case, there is no need to consult with an attorney. You aren't a party to the criminal case. It is prosecuted on behalf of the State of California, not you.
reported again?
Impossible to say. Why you lied is important. The nature of the lie is important. The damage you have done to your credibility is important.
I was small when it started but I dont want anyone to get jail its been going on and off for over 30 years
You can notarize any document you sign. However, the notarization only affirms that the signature is genuinely yours. It does not create any other legal rights nor does it signify anything more than that. You speak of a "true legal document." A notarization does not make a signed... Read more »
she seduced me at 10 and off and oń over the next 30 - 40 years i dont want to file a report just want it on paper
Him who? You? This document will probably not have any legal effect due to the passage of time, since the subject of harassment is now over 50 years old. Statute of limitations has long run out after this passage of time. There is no legal prohibition to the creation of such a statement, if the... Read more »
My ex and I broke up a month ago since then he’s confessed to cheating on me several times and confessed to injecting meth behind my back. He’s tried to get me back but I do not want any part of him. He is now accusing me of hacking into his computer and phone and saying he has proof from... Read more »
Thanks for your post. IMO, the police are not likely to be very excited that your bf got his collection of nudes erased, unless he is a dealer in fine art. Being a self confessed meth injector kinda points the other way. And go over there "with clean lady parts"?? What does that mean?... Read more »
I'm in california , we've referred to the digital penetration as sex , I just wanted to know if that can still cause him to be charged with statutory rape , and if so is there anything that can lessen the consequences ?

I am sorry this happened to you. Such an invasion of your personal space and body is not acceptable. However there are many reasons why raising it now, a couple of years later, might be problematic. As to your question, your exposure to a claim of slander would depend in large part on the... Read more »
Sexual assault is both a crime and a civil wrong. The district attorney decides whether to pursue a criminal action or not, you get to him by reporting the crime to the police in a timely manner, so they can gather evidence.
