Backpage.com, once a notorious online marketplace that facilitated trafficking under the guise of classified ads, is now at the center of a victory for survivors. For years, survivors of sex trafficking have been seeking justice against the powerful entities that enabled their abuse. A newly established $215 million fund for Backpage victims represents a critical opportunity for those harmed to seek restitution and hold those responsible accountable.
As a result, if you or a loved one were victimized through Backpage, it’s vital to act now. You are not alone. Our trauma-informed sexual abuse attorneys can help.
What Is the Backpage Victims Fund?
The $215 million fund is part of a Department of Justice legal settlement providing financial compensation to individuals trafficked through Backpage’s platform. Backpage.com was profiting from ads that directly contributed to the exploitation of countless people, often minors. This settlement acknowledges the harm caused and offers survivors a tangible path to reclaiming a sense of justice.
The fund is open to eligible victims. However, determining eligibility requires understanding the specific criteria set by the settlement. This is where our experienced sexual abuse attorneys can make all the difference.
Why You Need Legal Representation
Navigating the claims process for such a significant fund can be complex. Eligibility may depend on factors such as:
