We have noted the sad reality regarding sexual assault of women generally and the particularly high level of sex-based crimes against females that occur on American campuses across the country in prior select blog posts. We noted in a recent post entry, for example, the rather astounding report that “about 20 percent of female college…
We noted in our immediately preceding blog post that “responsibility in a sex crimes matter can indeed be dispersed and broadly shared.” It is certainly important that the Southern California readers of our personal injury victims’ advocacy website at the Los Angeles law firm of Taylor & Ring understand and appreciate that point, because it…
Issues regarding culpability and legal liability routinely emerge in all areas of the law, which can make a timely consultation with a proven attorney a critically important first step for an injured victim to take. And that can be especially true in the realm of sex crimes, for several very important reasons. For starters, prosecutors…
He apologized, but hey, well … whatever. That has undoubtedly got to be the reaction of legions of people who heard in media reports across the country last week what can only be termed as the outrageous comments of one man regarding rape. Unfortunately, that man is a judge. And from the statements he uttered…
We continue in today’s blog post with a topic we initially broached last week that has been termed “a hot topic in higher education.” Unfortunately, and as noted in our September 11 entry, that subject has nothing to do with anything salutary that is occurring on college campuses in California or elsewhere across the country.…

The Los Angeles Unified School District is no stranger to claims made by parents and other caregivers that school officials, teachers, coaches and other staff members either committed sexual assault acts against children or abetted them through laxity. A material update regarding one such claim was recently reported via a local media report describing an…
Public indignation regarding perceived laxity in criminal sentencing outcomes for sexual-assault defendants is hardly a geographically confined concern. Indeed, it’s coast to coast. Many readers of our sexual victims’ advocacy blog at the long-tenured Los Angeles personal injury law firm of Taylor & Ring will readily note that after considering today’s post in conjunction with…
California judge Aaron Persky got a recent dose of public attention so adverse that it has rendered him a virtual pariah in the minds of many state residents. Here’s ample proof of that, supplied courtesy of a recent profile of Persky appearing in the Los Angeles Times: reportedly, about 1.3 million people have signed a…
In baseball parlance, the California Assembly just threw a shutout last Thursday, overwhelmingly passing a bill addressing time limits related to sex crime prosecutions. Now that legislation moves to the Senate, which in all likelihood will endorse the bill with the same enthusiasm that House members did. Actually, it was the Senate that moved first,…
