At The Kushner Firm, we are dedicated to advocating for victims of sexual assault in youth, college and professional sports. A disturbing report from Child USA in 2017 concluded that 1 in 8 athletes in the U.S. will be sexually abused at some point during their playing career.
No matter their age or level of play, athletes who experience sexual assault are entitled to seek damages for the harm they have experienced. These damages may include compensation for medical expenses, therapy costs, loss of earnings, pain, suffering, and even punitive damages meant to punish wrongdoers and deter similar behavior.
These damages are not only available from the abusers themselves. Coaches, sports organizations, colleges, and even fellow athletes can be held accountable if they have enabled the abuse, turned a blind eye, or failed to take appropriate action when abuse is reported. The Kushner Firm’s mission is to ensure all responsible parties are held liable for their actions. We believe that by doing so, we are not just helping our clients find justice but also contributing to the broader fight against sexual abuse in sport.
As lead counsel, Joshua Kushner has personally represented survivors against some of the world’s most powerful athletes and sports organizations in the world and won. Our firm’s work seeks to raise awareness and drive reform in a culture that too often fails to prioritize athlete safety. By partnering with us, you are standing up for justice, breaking the cycle of silence, and helping to create a safer sporting environment for everyone.

Sexual assault at hotels and motels is a serious issue for both employees and patrons that deserves attention in the United States. Even worse, many of these heinous crimes are entirely preventable – the results of inadequate hotel security, improper employee hiring and training, overserving of alcohol or a failure to maintain basic safety screening protocols. At The Kushner Firm, we help our client bring their abusers to justice while also holding accountable those hotels, motels and Airbnb’s that enabled the assault in the first place.

Sexual abuse in K-12 school settings can take many different forms, but it generally involves any type of unwanted sexual behavior that occurs between a student and an adult in a school or educational setting. Sexual abuse can include physical contact, such as touching or fondling, unwanted touching, kissing, penetration of any kind however slight, and any other sexual contact. It can also include non-physical behaviors, such as sexual comments, harassment, jokes, stalking, or gestures either verbally or orally.
It is important to note that sexual abuse is never the fault of the victim, and it is always the responsibility of adults in a school setting to ensure that students are safe and protected from any type of abuse or harm. There are often misperceptions and stereotypes when sexual abuse is reported among teenagers and teachers, often the sexual abuse is referred to in consensual ways such as headlines that read, “Teacher dating student or Teacher and student having an affair or having sex.” It is vital to remember that children are children until the age of 18 and they cannot legally consent to sex with an adult. When you factor in the power dynamics between teachers, coaches, and administrators, it is deeply problematic to misrepresent these cases of sexual abuse as anything but that.
If you or a loved one has been sexually abused in a public or private school setting, contact The Kushner Firm today for a free, in-depth, consultation with an experienced public and private school sexual abuse attorney.
Sexual violence is disturbingly common on college and university campuses. In fact, one in five women report being sexually assaulted during college, and more than 11% of all students experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation at some point. In the great majority of sexual assault cases, the victim knows the assailant, making it more personal than other crimes. And often, sexual assault victims cannot consent to sex because they are drugged, passed out, or incapacitated.
Many victims of sexual assault on campuses never come forward. Some are unsure whether their incident constitutes “sexual assault” some fear reprisal, worry that no one will believe them, or think that they will be publicly shamed or received negative attention if they report their assault. Especially when it comes to sexual assault and rape on college campuses, victims often think that they are partly or wholly to blame because they knew their attacker or because they were under the influence.
Whether the assailant is a stranger or someone the victim knows, being a victim of sexual assault is traumatic and can be difficult to deal with. It is critical to remember that sexual assault victims are never to blame, and there are systems in place to them recover and feel whole again.
Victims of college sexual assault can pursue disciplinary action against the perpetrator through their college or university. They can also report the crime to local law enforcement so that a prosecutor can take legal action against the perpetrator. But a criminal case against your abuser will not hold the school or institution that allowed the abuse to occur accountable. As a survivor of college sexual abuse or the parent of an abused child, you have the right to hold the educational institution you trusted accountable for failing to protect its students.

In today’s society, it is not uncommon for individuals to share intimate images or romantic content with a partner via text, e-mail or social media. Unfortunately, some people seek to weaponize these private images by sharing them without their partner or former partner’s consent. Sometimes referred to as “revenge porn” or “sextortion”, this sharing of images without consent is absolutely a form of sexual harassment and can result in significant criminal and civil penalties for the harasser. Where the images are used to extort victims, even more consequences may exist.
