Abuse Guardian is a national alliance of sexual abuse lawyers that provides victims of sexual assault with the help they need in accessing qualified and experienced legal representation. As a member of Abuse Guardian and former sex crimes unit prosecutor, Brian Kent brings a considerable portfolio of expertise to victims of sexual assault carried out in boarding school settings, including abuse perpetrated by teachers, or by fellow students.

“As a committed attorney with a wealth of experience in Pennsylvania, particularly in advocating for survivors of boarding school abuse, I have devoted my career to assisting survivors of sexual assault find justice," says Kent. "My compassionate and supportive team takes a personalized approach to each case to provide the best possible representation as we seek justice, obtain compensation, and facilitate healing.”

Darkness to Light research reveals that on average, 10 percent of children will be sexually and/or physically abused while at school. Sexual abuse and forced sexual acts perpetrated against children in boarding schools are particularly heinous since many victims are living away from home and can find themselves feeling trapped and powerless.

Kent explains that while reporting this type of sexual abuse can be difficult, victims of sexual abuse in boarding school settings are entitled to launch claims for justice and compensation against not only the criminal defendant, but any entity that allowed for or contributed to the abuse and injury. The litigation process is intended to bring healing, justice, and restitution to survivors, and to punish those who undermine valued institutions of education.

By offering complimentary consultations, Kent makes it easier for individuals to come forward, learn about their rights, and determine whether they have grounds to sue.

In partnership with Brian Kent and the Abuse Guardian alliance, parents receive direct access to a pool of resources that make it easier to pursue justice, obtain deserved restitution, and to put sexual predators behind bars.

China swim sensation, 13, sets Games record after Japan win early

NAGOYA, Japan — The 13-year-old Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi set an Asian Games record as she scorched to gold on Sunday's first full day of competition, after hosts Japan celebrated early success. The first gold medal of the 20th edition of the two-week multisport extravaganza went to Japan's Takumi Hojo in the men's individual triathlon. In the evening it was over to Yu as the schoolgirl who turns 14 next month took the women's 200m butterfly crown in a Games-record 2min 05.08sec. It was the first major title of her young career, less than two years out from the Los Angeles Olympics. "It was only so-so," a smiling Yu said after receiving her medal, warning she can go faster yet. Yu became the youngest medalist in swimming world championships history last year when she took home relay bronze aged 12. Swimming is one of three sports at the Games taking place in Tokyo, where a typhoon is due to blow in, with the rest of the Games unfolding in Nagoya and Aichi prefecture. China are expected to be the preeminent power in the pool and they showed why on day one as they clinched six of the seven titles on the night. - 'Beautiful' - The Games were declared open on Saturday by Emperor Naruhito, but there were a large number of empty seats at the 30,000-capacity stadium in Nagoya. It sounded the starting pistol on a fortnight of intense action as the continent's finest athletes compete in more than 40 sports before the curtain comes down on October 4. The Games has 2028 Olympics places up for grabs but has been dogged by a series of problems in the build-up. Accommodating the more than 11,000 athletes and 6,000 officials has stretched organizers to the limit after they decided not to have a traditional athletes' village to save money. Competitors instead are staying in a combination of temporary container-style huts, hotels and on the Costa Serena cruise ship. IOC president Kirsty Coventry called the temporary huts "beautiful" on Sunday after having a look round -- but conceded they were "a little tighter" than similar accommodation at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics this year. - Typhoon threat - Japanese organizers will be desperate for the sport to take over from a troubled lead-in that included complaints about the accommodation and a shortage of rooms. However, an incoming typhoon that soaked Tokyo on Sunday could cause more problems. The Tokyo venue hosting equestrian was closed because of the weather. The competition is now due to start on Tuesday, a day later than originally planned. Olympic Council of Asia director general Husain Al-Musallam said the typhoon threat was part of the reason why there were thousands of empty seats at the opening ceremony. The full force of Typhoon Dujuan won't be felt until Monday, with Tokyo expected to be hit with strong winds and heavy rain. Nagoya won't be in the storm's immediate path but wet weather is forecast there too.
