My daughter was sexually abused at the age of three by my father in law. This was thoroughly investigated and brought to the ME District Attorney's office for review, but because of her need to testify, her age and the additional potential harm she may experience my husband and I decided not to pursue criminal charges. However, during the course of the investigation my husband and I discovered that two of my sisters in law had also been sexually abused when young children by my father in law. At this time we are considering filing a civil action on behalf of our now four year old daughter. Do we have a basis for a civil case? Since we live in New Hampshire and the crime occurred in Maine, where would we pursue legal action? Would we be able to combine the crimes against my sisters in law since he was never prosecuted for those either? Would we be able to include the emotional harm/stress that my husband, I and our two other children have suffered since this happened to our daughter? Thank you for your assitance.
