If your child has been sexually abused in a youth sports or recreational setting, you need a compassionate and experienced advocate who understands the complexities of these sensitive cases. At Greg Jones Law, we specialize in representing survivors of sexual abuse in youth sports and activities, fighting tirelessly to hold perpetrators and negligent organizations accountable.
Understanding the Scope of Abuse in Youth Sports
Youth sports programs are designed to foster teamwork, discipline, and personal growth. Unfortunately, these environments can also become breeding grounds for abuse when proper safeguards are not in place. Coaches, trainers, and other adults in positions of trust may exploit their authority to manipulate and harm young athletes.
The abuse can take many forms, including:
- Physical contact that is inappropriate or sexual in nature
- Verbal harassment or coercion
- Online exploitation through social media or messaging platforms
- Negligence by organizations that fail to implement proper background checks or training
Victims often face long-term psychological and emotional trauma, which can affect their self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being.
