Dating App Sexual Assault Claims

When individuals are assaulted by people they meet on popular dating sites, many find that there is little to no accountability from the dating apps and websites where they first met their assailant. Phillips Law Group is currently investigating dating app sexual assault claims from people who were sexually assaulted or otherwise victimized by someone they met on a dating website.

Holding Dating Apps Accountable for Abuse

In 2018, a woman named Emily C. told Bumble that a man she met through its online dating platform had sexually assaulted her, according to an investigation by Politico. She said they did not respond to her complaint, and two months later, she saw his profile photo on the app again. 

She also noted that she matched with the same man on other dating apps. When she notified a different platform, Tinder, she again never received a response. She had a similar experience with Hinge, another popular dating app.

“It’s like being assaulted twice,” she told the outlet of the companies’ lack of response to her reports. “They failed their users. They’re not taking responsibility for what they created, which is a monster.”

If you reported someone for a sexual assault after you met them on a dating app such as Bumble or Tinder, and the service did not remove the person’s profile, the company operating the app can be accused of putting others at risk and we may be able to help you hold these dating apps accountable. 

If companies behind dating apps don’t take reports of sexual abuse from other users seriously, they are endangering everyone on their platforms. Predators may be able to victimize others as a result of inaction by these apps. If you’ve reported abuse by another user to a dating app or website, and they did not take action, you may have legal options, and Phillips Law Group can potentially assist you.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

Pursuing Dating App Sexual Assault Claims

Most dating apps don’t conduct criminal background checks on members, potentially leaving the door wide open for predators to take advantage of users on their platforms. If someone suffers sexual assault at the hands of predators who use dating apps that don’t take abuse reports seriously, an argument can be made that these dating website companies didn’t take appropriate action and can be held accountable. 

Dating apps should take reasonable action to protect their customers. If they don’t, it’s sometimes possible to bring legal action against them.
