Re: Statute of Limitations on Sex Abuse

For childhood sexual abuse, within eight years after reaching 18, or within three years of the date of discovery/memory recovered.

For a victim of domestic violence, within three years of occurance.

For a victim of crime or personal injury, within a year.

If you are such a victim, within the statute's time limits, and have a viable defendant with assets, then contact me to discuss the facts.
