Sexual assault mass tort cases involve multiple plaintiffs who experienced similar instances of sexual abuse or assault. Typically, the thread tying these plaintiffs together is that the same perpetrator committed the assaults or that multiple perpetrators were part of the same organization, such as a school or religious center.
These cases seek to hold perpetrators and responsible entities accountable while providing compensation to the victims. They can often be more efficient and effective than if all the plaintiffs brought individual claims against their abusers.
