Help needed

Hi guys.
So I'm working on my term paper, the subject given if "Sexual abuse of the Mentally disabled" and since I have to cover all bases, I wonder if any of you can direct me to relevant US laws dealing with the subject. This is what I found,

18 U.S. Code Chapter 109A - SEXUAL ABUSE LII Legal Information Institute

but I'm not sure that covers it all.

Any ideas of anymore laws?

Thanks!

I believe there are probably laws per state. These 4 states popped up when I ran a search. Good luck
Abuse Neglect and Exploitation of the Elderly and Disabled Safety Health Senior Services
DHS FAQs of Reporting Abuse Neglect of People with Disabilities
Abuse and Neglect Awareness and Reporting for Individuals Labeled as Mentally Ill Disability Rights Ohio
Relevant State Laws Rules and Policies Zero Tolerance

Yes, Lipush as the previous poster said, something like this will have more comprehensive laws state by state, and will vary by state as well.

I did a google search with "sexual abuse washington state" and came up with a link to the states' law listing:

Chapter 9a.44 RCW SEX OFFENSES

good luck

p.s. you could drop the "state" for other searches since a search for 'Washington' alone would also yield Washington d.c.

I'm not sure.

They should make it a law for orderly workers employed to be investigated before hiring. In NY they do not do background checks on those they hire. They should.

Thank you all!
