The CVA expanded the natural statute of limitations for filing childhood sexual abuse claims going forward to age 55, or until seven years after the survivor becomes aware of trauma from past abuse — whichever is later. (Credit: ambrozinio/Shutterstock.com)The Diocese of Trenton, New Jersey has filed suit against several insurers, citing their handling of an influx of sexual abuse claims the organization received after the implementation of the state’s Child Victims Act (CVA).
The CVA, adopted in December 2019, allowed those who experienced past acts of childhood sexual abuse the opportunity to file a civil suit against their abusers or any other responsible entities regardless of whether the prior time limit for these claims had expired. This created a “revival window” that allowed childhood sexual assault victims to file claims for two years.
