    Sexual assault and organisation's involvement

    I was raped recently, I went to the police but they did not report my case and asked me to go to a hospital to get a report.

    I had resigned from an organisation and my sponsorship with another organisation was in process. Technically, my last work at was August 15. But my organisation said that I do not need to come into work and they will pay me until my lwd. This happened on July 26. However, they also asked me to submit- laptop, insurance card and get a sign off from all relevant departments.

    On the day of the incident I was in too much pain and shock to go to a random hospital to get some kind of report instead of going to a clinic and getting myself checked. I would like to know if I can take any action against this organisation for their negligence.

    I do not any lawyers as such who can help out. Could suggest some names? Preferably who would take up pro-bono cases. Thanks

    It is hard to prove civil liability if theres no police/hospital report. Just your word against theirs. You better report first.
    If you need a lawyer, please pm.

    Very sorry to hear what happened to you, such a horrible thing to happen, I hope you get the support that is need to over come this.

    Did you ever go to hospital to get checked out and get a rape kit done on yourself, hospitals will then inform Police and they will open a case file, The police that you went to should have assisted you instead of just telling you to go to hospital. you should file a complaint for that issue.

    You want to file a neglicance suit against your last job for letting you go early?? your last day was supposed to be Aug 15th but they let you go early ?? did they still pay you unitl aug 15th???

    It's a geo thing. First create a thread here, then seek for professional advice where you gotta drop some $$$.

    It's a place - a great one actually - to sought advice and "help" if you're clueless about where or how to start off things in HK. Of course, you can't just rely on an internet forum's advice, but that's up to your intelligence to decide what to follow and what not to.

    + Maybe the OP was in need of some support and reassurance on what to do.
