Mississauga Sexual Assault Lawyer


Sexual assault is an umbrella term referring to any kind of sexual encounter that takes place without the consent of all parties involved. The definition can encompass a wide range of wrongful actions and behaviours, including acts of sexual violence, verbal harrassment, unwanted/forced touching, and online abuse.

Anyone can be the victim of sexual assault, regardless of gender, sexuality, age, cultural background, or socioeconomic position. In Mississauga, sexual assault can be committed by unknown assailants against total strangers, but more often than not, people who have been assaulted have a pre-existing relationship with the perpetrator of the crime. 

Approximately 82% of sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. Perpetrators are often romantic partners, dates, co-workers, acquaintances, friends, and even spouses or other family members.

Not only can sexual assault lead to physical injuries and harm, but people who have been victimized often develop severe psychological issues, as well. In order to cope with their traumatizing experience, sexual assault victims might engage in self-destructive behaviours, including binge drinking, substance abuse, self-harm, and suicidal attempts or ideation. If you are in distress, contact Talk Suicide Canada at 1-833-456-4566.

In addition to suffering from psychological distress, many survivors of sexual assault find themselves facing economic insecurities and incurring substantial financial losses. These are often related to:

  • Prescription drugs
  • Psychiatric treatment
  • Psychological counseling
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced future earning capabilities
  • Failure to meet potential
  • Loss of interdependent relationships
  • And more
