🛡️ Teen Boundaries, Consent, and the Law: What Teens Must Know About Sexual Misconduct *coming soon
Course overview
Lesson Overview

1.87 – Civil Suits vs. Criminal Charges: Civil suits and criminal charges sound similar, but they have very different outcomes. Criminal cases are handled by the government and can lead to jail, probation, or a criminal record. Civil cases happen between people, often about money or damages. Someone may sue for emotional harm even after a criminal case is over. In civil court, the goal is to prove responsibility, not guilt beyond all doubt. The rules, standards, and consequences are separate. You can win one case and lose the other because they use different evidence. Many people are surprised that the same situation can lead to two separate legal battles. Civil suits can last for years and cost thousands in legal fees. Understanding both helps you see how complex the justice system really is. Knowing your rights early helps you make smarter, calmer choices when facing accusations or defending yourself.
