You are here: Home / Archive PCN Call-In / Child Sexual Abuse Statute of Limitations

The House has passed two bills that would change the child sexual assault statute of limitations laws in Pennsylvania. The first would eliminate the criminal statute of limitations for a number of sexual offenses from human trafficking to rape to institutional sexual assault. If enacted, the bill would allow child victims to bring a civil lawsuit until age 55. A second measure is a constitutional amendment that would open a two-year window for civil lawsuits for individuals who were sexually abused prior to any proposed revisions in the statute of limitations contained in the other bill.
