What to Do If Assaulted After Meeting Someone on a Dating App in Florida?
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
Sexual assault after a dating app meetup is a devastating experience, and Florida sees rising cases tied to platforms like Tinder and Bumble. If this has happened to you, knowing what to do next is critical for your safety, health, and legal options. At Kaiser Romanello Accident and Injury Attorneys, we guide victims through recovery and justice. With a track record of successful personal injury claims, we’re here to help. Reach us at 844-877-8679 for immediate support.
Immediate Steps After an Assault
First, prioritize safety. Get to a secure location and call 911 if in danger. Florida law requires hospitals to provide free sexual assault forensic exams (SAFE kits) within 120 hours, as per Florida Statute §794.052. Preserve evidence: Don’t shower, change clothes, or delete app messages. Report to police promptly—file a report with local law enforcement, who can investigate under sexual battery statutes (Florida Statute §794.011).
Contact a hotline like Florida’s Abuse Hotline (1-800-96-ABUSE) or RAINN (1-800-656-HOPE) for emotional support. If the assault involved sextortion or blackmail, firms like The FL Law Firm advise quick action to halt further harm.
Medical and Emotional Care
Seek medical attention even if injuries aren’t visible—internal harm or STDs may require treatment. Florida’s Victim Compensation Fund can cover costs if you report within 72 hours. Therapy is essential; organizations like the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence offer free counseling.
Document everything: Photos of injuries, witness statements, and app profiles. This builds a case for civil claims against the perpetrator or app.
Legal Actions and Reporting to the App
Report the user to the dating app immediately—they may suspend accounts and provide data for investigations. Per Phillips Law Group, if the app ignored prior reports, you could sue for negligence. Florida’s personal injury laws allow claims for damages, with a two-year statute of limitations.
Consider a protective injunction under Florida Statute §784.046 for dating violence. File at your local courthouse; it’s free and can order no-contact.
Building a Civil Case
Gather evidence linking the assault to the meetup. If the app failed safety duties (e.g., no verification), liability attaches. Cases from Burg Simpson show victims winning when apps didn’t act on complaints.
Challenges include emotional toll and proof burdens, but our attorneys handle subpoenas and negotiations. We’ve recovered millions for Florida victims, covering lost income and pain.
Prevention and Resources
While not your fault, future safety tips from RAINN include public meetings and sharing plans. Florida resources: Citrus County Clerk for injunctions, Musca Law for legal overviews.
