Restitution Considerations in Child Sexual Abuse Material and Child Sexual Exploitation Cases

Child sexual abuse material and commercial sexual exploitation cases warrant federal restitution evaluations. This workshop will explain why these particular types of cases merit additional medical assessments to justify financial analyses which will reflect direct and indirect costs of care over the lifespan of survivors. These assessments often are repeated at intervals in a survivor's lifetime. Often the researched lifetime cost of care is below what would be expected. The steps in evaluating direct medical costs will be discussed and examples of what these reports entail will be provided.
