Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Virginia

Sexual assault on 4 year old child

My 4 year old son was grabbed on his private parts in front of me by a grocery store employee who was trying to determine if my son was a boy or a girl. I reported it to the store manager, the employee admitted it, and we filed a police report. What are my rights? Can I file a law suit?

The question must be answered, however, as to what would be your son's provable damages in order to determine the viability of this claim.
