Child sexual abuse is a public health crisis in Georgia that recent legislative measures have done almost nothing to relieve—that and other findings are reported in a white paper produced by the Wilbanks Child Endangerment and Sexual Exploitation Clinic at the University of Georgia School of Law.

“Although the scope of the problem is broad, access to the civil justice system remains narrow for survivors in Georgia,” the clinic leaders said in the report “Statute of Limitations for Child Sexual Abuse Civil Lawsuits in Georgia: Update on Case Findings and Opportunities for Reform.”
