Identifying Liability in Sexual Abuse Cases in Fashion and Modeling
Models often enter the industry while young. Those in positions of power may take advantage of a young model while luring them with promises of stardom. Potential models may fear refusing advances can damage their careers. Because of this, many victims do not come forward with their stories because they fear being terminated from projects, suffering pay cuts, or getting blacklisted from the industry.
However, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) makes sexual abuse illegal in the workplace. Therefore, your employers are prohibited from reprimanding you or retaliating against you for reporting sexual abuse.
In the fashion world, common perpetrators of sexual abuse include executives, photographers, editors, videographers, directors, other models, designers, producers, and more. When suing for sexual abuse claims in the fashion and modeling industry, know that multiple defendants may hold liability for the abuse.
For example, even if the fashion photographer committed the abuse, the victim may be able to file a lawsuit against agents, fashion brands, clients, or other entities who were aware of the photographer’s predatory activities but failed to take any meaningful action against them.
Also, if you were a minor when the abuse occurred, anyone who was aware of the abuse or should have known of the abuse can be held accountable per The Nevada Revised Statute, Chapter 432B.
Calculating Total Compensation in a Modeling Sexual Abuse Case
Since every sexual abuse case is unique, the recoverable damages will differ depending on what injuries you suffered and how the abuse has impacted your life.
Generally, here are some of the losses you may potentially secure financial reparations for:
- Any past, current, and future medical expenses arising from sexual abuse
- Lost wages, including back pay if you were wrongfully terminated or forced to quit for speaking up about your abuse
- Attorney fees
- Damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress you have endured from the abuse
- Punitive damages may be awarded in rare cases to punish the defendant for their actions
