Los Angeles Group Home Sexual Abuse Lawyer
Survivors of sexual abuse in Los Angeles group homes face unimaginable trauma, often compounded by feelings of isolation and betrayal. These facilities are entrusted with the care of society’s most vulnerable—children, individuals with cognitive or physical impairments, and elderly adults. When that trust is broken through sexual assault or other sexual crimes, survivors deserve the full protection of the legal system and powerful advocacy to pursue justice.
Greenberg Gross LLP is a dedicated law firm representing survivors across Los Angeles County. Our law group is deeply experienced in holding abusers, institutions, and negligent staff accountable through civil lawsuits. Whether the abuse occurred in a privately operated group home, a religious institution, or a school district-run facility, we are here to help sexual abuse victims find their voice and fight back.
Sexual Abuse in Los Angeles Group Homes
Sexual abuse in Los Angeles group homes takes many forms. Survivors may endure ongoing harassment, be sexually assaulted by staff or residents, or be subjected to sexual acts under coercion or manipulation. These situations often involve attempted rape, statutory rape, unwanted sexual contact, or indecent exposure.
The harm isn’t just physical—many survivors suffer long-term emotional distress and psychological trauma. In the worst cases, sexual abuse victims are silenced by fear or disbelief. Greenberg Gross LLP works to ensure that survivors are heard, believed, and fully supported throughout the legal process.
Types of Abuse We Handle
Our legal team has extensive experience handling a broad range of sexual abuse within group home environments:
1. Childhood Sexual Abuse and Molestation
Group homes often house foster children and minors with no guardianship alternatives. Sadly, child sexual abuse—including molestation and grooming—is far too common. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse deserve specialized care and aggressive representation.
2. Elder Abuse and Sexual Assault
Elderly adults living in nursing homes or assisted-living facilities in Los Angeles are also at risk. Sexual abuse in these settings is often overlooked or misattributed to cognitive decline. We help bring attention to these cases and seek justice for the victims.
3. Abuse in Religious Institutions and Schools
Our law firm has represented survivors of abuse occurring in institutions linked to the Catholic Church, other religious groups, and local school districts. These organizations must be held accountable when they fail to protect children or cover up abuse.
4. Workplace Sexual Harassment by Care Staff
Sexual harassment, including unwanted sexual comments, inappropriate touching, and exposure, often goes unreported in group homes. Survivors, especially those with disabilities, may feel helpless. We work to stop this abuse and bring justice to survivors.
Legal Options for Sexual Abuse Survivors
Survivors have the legal right to file a civil claim and pursue financial compensation from the responsible parties. California law provides strong protections for survivors, including extensions to the statute of limitations. This means many survivors can pursue claims even if the abuse happened years ago.
Legal options include:
- Filing a civil lawsuit against abusers and negligent institutions
- Pursuing personal injury claims for emotional and physical damages
- Seeking maximum financial compensation for therapy, medical bills, lost wages, and more
- Filing civil suits against religious institutions or school districts for systemic negligence
- Working with our sexual assault attorneys to build strong cases using expert testimony, witness statements, and facility records

- Behavioral changes or withdrawal
