New York: Bill Passed that Increases Statute of Limitations for Cases of Child Sexual Abuse

[mydailywow]

"The New York State Legislature passed a bill on Monday that will increase the statute of limitations for cases of child sexual abuse.

The Child Victims Act will allow child victims to seek prosecution against their abuser until the age of 55 in civil cases, a significant increase from the previous limit of age 23. For criminal cases, victims can seek prosecution until they turn 28. The bill also includes a one-year window during which victims of any age or time limit can come forward to prosecute." ttps://www.cnn.com/2019/01/28/us/new-york-child-victims-act/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0fMcySbUTo7lrth7wDoZduEy0vffBBqj_1AdI02eS1gWz7uCjFAf83lEs
