Sanger Police Sexual Abuse Lawyer for JD Torrence Victims – Call (833)-200-7111

If you were sexually abused, assaulted, coerced, or exploited by former Sanger Police Department officer J.D. Torrence, you may have the right to file a civil lawsuit and recover substantial financial compensation. The Wagner Law Group is actively investigating additional claims involving JD Torrence victims and urges survivors to contact the confidential Abuse Victim Hotline at (833)-200-7111 immediately.

Sexual abuse by a police officer is a violation of constitutional rights and a profound abuse of power. Survivors deserve accountability, justice, and compensation beyond criminal sentencing.

Call (833)-200-7111 today for a free and confidential consultation.

JD Torrence Criminal Conviction and Federal Sentencing

Former Sanger police officer J.D. Torrence was convicted in federal court for kidnapping, aggravated sexual abuse, and deprivation of rights under color of law. He was sentenced to multiple life terms in federal prison.

The U.S. Department of Justice detailed the convictions and sentencing here:
https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/former-sanger-police-officer-sentenced-five-consecutive-life-sentences-sexually

While criminal prosecution holds the offender accountable, it does not automatically compensate every survivor. Civil lawsuits remain one of the strongest legal tools for victims seeking financial recovery.

If you are one of the JD Torrence victims who has not yet come forward, call (833)-200-7111 immediately.

$5.25 Million Civil Settlement Involving the City of Sanger

The City of Sanger approved a $5.25 million settlement in a case involving sexual abuse by former officer J.D. Torrence. The Wagner Law Group represented the survivor in the civil claim.

Multiple news outlets reported on the settlement:

These reports confirm that civil litigation can produce significant financial recovery and accountability. However, that settlement represents one survivor. Other victims may still have independent legal claims.

Call the Abuse Victim Hotline at (833)-200-7111 to discuss your situation confidentially.

Sexual Abuse by Police Officer in California – Civil Rights Violations

Sexual abuse by a police officer often involves coercion under color of law. That means the officer used official authority — including the power to arrest, detain, cite, or investigate — to intimidate or manipulate victims.

Common scenarios include:

  • Traffic stop sexual coercion
  • Threats of arrest in exchange for sexual acts
  • Isolation during detention or questioning
  • Abuse committed while on duty and in uniform

These actions violate both California law and federal civil rights statutes. A police officer sexual assault lawsuit may allow victims to pursue damages for emotional distress, medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, and long-term trauma.

If you experienced sexual abuse by JD Torrence or another Sanger police officer, contact a Sanger police sexual abuse lawyer immediately at (833)-200-7111.

Civil Lawsuit Against the Sanger Police Department

In certain cases, liability may extend beyond the individual officer. A civil lawsuit against the Sanger Police Department or the City of Sanger may be possible if:

  • Prior complaints were ignored
  • Supervisors failed to discipline or monitor the officer
  • Warning signs were overlooked
  • Policies allowed misconduct to continue

Claims against public entities involve strict filing deadlines. Acting quickly is essential to preserving your rights.

Call (833)-200-7111 for a confidential evaluation of your potential claim.

Why JD Torrence Victims May Still Have Valid Claims

Many survivors of sexual abuse by police officers delay reporting due to:

  • Fear of retaliation
  • Fear of not being believed
  • Emotional trauma and shame
  • Threats made by the officer
  • Community pressure

California law has expanded legal protections and filing windows for sexual abuse survivors in certain situations. Even if the abuse occurred years ago, you may still have a valid claim.

You do not need to have filed a police report to pursue a civil case. The first step is a confidential conversation.

Call the Abuse Victim Hotline at (833)-200-7111 today.

Compensation Available in a Police Officer Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Victims may be entitled to recover:

  • Economic damages (medical bills, therapy, lost income)
  • Non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress)
  • Punitive damages for extreme misconduct
  • Attorney’s fees under federal civil rights statutes

Every case is unique. The value of your claim depends on specific facts and evidence.

If you believe you were harmed by former Sanger Police Officer J.D. Torrence, contact The Wagner Law Group immediately at (833)-200-7111.
