According to the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act (AB 2777), a cover up in an adult sexual abuse lawsuit is defined as a:
concerted effort to hide evidence relating to a sexual assault that incentivizes individuals to remain silent or prevents information relating to a sexual assault from becoming public or being disclosed to the plaintiff, including, but not limited to, the use of nondisclosure agreements or confidentiality agreements.
Survivors of sexual abuse can seek justice and compensation from the responsible parties. This includes individuals or institutions who attempted to hide, ignore, or dissuade a survivor from coming forward about an incident of sexual abuse. If you or a loved one was harmed by sexual violence, remember—you are not to blame, you are not alone, and help is available for your journey to recovery.
