Suing for sexual assault at workplace and financial exploitation: O’Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors successfully represented a client who endured repeated physical abuse and financial exploitation by her employer. Despite the defendant’s threats of bankruptcy and claims of having no assets, we secured a reasonable settlement, ensuring justice and compensation for our client.
Suing for sexual assault at workplace
Our client was subjected to ongoing sexual assaults by her employer while working at a restaurant. Over several years, she suffered weekly incidents of abuse, including six instances of non-consensual intercourse. Additionally, the employer borrowed a significant sum from our client under false pretences, failing to repay the debt.
Legal action was taken to recover damages for both the assaults and the unpaid debt. Despite the defendant’s attempts to evade liability, we negotiated a successful settlement.
Sexually assaulted by employer
Our client began working at a restaurant when she was just a teenager. Over time, the employer subjected her to ongoing physical abuse, intimidation, and coercion. The abuse escalated, with the defendant regularly sexually assaulting our client.
In addition to the physical abuse, the employer took advantage of our client financially. He borrowed a substantial sum of money, promising repayment with interest. However, he never returned the funds. The legal claim included damages for sexual assault and battery, as well as debt recovery for the unpaid loan. 
Case Outcome: Suing for sexual assault at workplace
The matter was settled, ensuring our client received compensation for both the physical abuse and financial losses. While no amount can undo the harm caused, this outcome provided a sense of justice and closure for our client.
