In cases where sexual abuse has been carried out in particularly humiliating and undignified circumstances, the plaintiff may be entitled to aggravated damages (Norberg v. Wynrib, supra, at 263). Factors that can affect the assessment of aggravated damages in cases of sexual abuse include the relationship of the parties, the number of assaults, the duration of the abuse, the age of the plaintiff, the degree of violence and coercion, the nature of the abuse, the extent of the impact on the plaintiff and the lack of remorse (Y. (S.) v. C. (F.G.), supra, at para. 58).
