No matter how much child sexual abuse the report ends up revealing, justice remains out of reach for many victims because their statute of limitations ran out.
The statute of limitations, a period of time in which to bring legal action, has lengthened over the years for child sex abuse civil claims.
Before 1991, child sexual assault victims had to report lesser abuses, like inappropriate touching, within two years, and greater abuses, like sodomy or rape, within five years.
In 1991, the statute period for minor victims extended to their 20th birthday for lesser abuses and to their 23rd birthday for greater abuses.
In 2002, the statute was further extended so minor victims could file civil charges until their 30th birthday.
Since 2019, minor victims have been able to file civil charges until the age of 55. That same year, the statute of limitations was entirely lifted for criminal child sex abuse charges.
