WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
Based on a 2019 change to the law, we added information to our New York Suing an Abuser page about the extended statute of limitations for filing a civil lawsuit against someone who sexually abused you as a child. Changes made in English and Spanish. We also added two related statutes to our Selected New York Statutes page in English.
