So the statute of limitations for sexual abuse claims varies by state, and it’s actually very complicated. Every state in the United States has a different civil statute of limitations and a different criminal statute of limitations for sexual abuse claims. Both on the criminal side, so charges criminal charges against the perpetrator of the crime, and civil claims against both the perpetrator and like the church or the school where it may have occurred. It’s really important for our clients to understand that most lawyers do not deal with sexual abuse statutes limitations on a daily basis. And unless you are intimately familiar with how they work across the country, it’s easy to get them wrong. It’s easy to either think that the case is already time-barred by the statute or isn’t, and be confused or wrong about actual application of the statute.
