Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in New Jersey

I need legal representation. This past winter I Was sexually molested by my maintenance man. I live in a subsidized Hud building, there are senior citizens here and disabled people. I am disabled, lived here on the beach for three years. I have tried to put the disgusting incident out of my mind but it is ruining my life! I have become an angry individual. I stopped going to the gym everyday and become withdrawn and more depressed. I did not want to go to the police or start any trouble but I have no choice to stop this pervert. I am afraid to be alone in my apartment. I live alone. He has keys to all the apartments in this building.

You need counselling help in order to get the strength to deal with the issues you have found. Every County in New Jersey has a rape crisis center. I belive the nearest to you is this one:

180, Turning Lives Around

Hazlet, NJ 07730

(888) 264-RAPE (Hotline)

Description: 180, Turning Lives Around , is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault in our community.

Call, they will guide you through the process. If you want to discuss any of the steps with an attorney, please contact me. I have represented many victims of sexual assault both as a crime victim advocate with the prosecutor, and as a plaintiff's attorney. Because the perpetrator was employed by your landlord, you may have a civil claim.
