There are no words to describe the physical and mental torment that child sexual abuse survivors have had to endure over their lifetime. That is why California Assembly Bill 218 was enacted, to give survivors up to the age of 40 to file a claim. The law had previously only allowed survivors and victims to file a claim until age 26. Now, under the new Childhood Sexual Abuse and Assault Law, a brand new three-year “window of justice” has opened from January 1, 2020 through 2023.
