Deadline for New York Residents Sexually Abused as Children Extended to August 14, 2021
In 2019, New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed the Child Victims Act which provided survivors of childhood sexual abuse a one-year window to file cases which had already been time-barred. This original one-year window for filing claims was set to expire on August 14, 2020. Governor Andrew Cuomo has now extended the Child Victim’s Act deadline to August 14, 2021. Victims who want to seek justice now have an additional year!
New York residents who were sexually abused as children now have until August 14, 2021 to pursue claims against Priests, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, healthcare workers, coaches, camp counselors and other adults.
