Lawrence Fourkiller, Oklahoma Teacher Pleads Guilty, 6 Victims

Lawrence Fourkiller, a 2nd-grade teacher at Stilwell Public Schools in Oklahoma, pleads guilty to one count of the charges of 6 counts of sexual abuse, six victims all ‘under 12′. It is alarming that the other five victim counts were dismissed. The criminal justice system often fails victims and their families; this is why civil justice is so important.

Documents state Fourkiller “had sexual contact through clothing and inner thigh, of a child under the age of 12, with intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade and arouse.” Police believe there are more victims and are encouraging them to come forward. We understand how hard it is to disclose abuse.  You and your family are not alone.

How Can A Civil Lawsuit Help Victims Seek Justice For The Trauma They May Have Experienced By Lawrence Fourkiller?

A civil lawsuit can serve as a crucial avenue for victims seeking justice and redress from the trauma of sexual abuse, especially when organizations are implicated in the wrongdoing. By initiating legal action, survivors can hold the institutions that may have enabled or failed to prevent the abuse accountable. Civil suits allow victims to seek compensation for the physical, emotional, and psychological harm they have endured.

Additionally, these lawsuits contribute to the broader goal of raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual abuse and fostering a culture that prioritizes the safety and well-being of individuals over organizational interests. Furthermore, legal proceedings offer survivors a platform to share their experiences, thereby challenging the culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse and empowering others to come forward.
