Child sex abuse survivors, regardless of age, will have one year starting this August to revive decades-old civil claims against their alleged abusers as the Child Victims Act became law in New York on Thursday.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo appeared in Manhattan with lawmakers and advocates to sign the bill, which creates the so-called look-back window for revived claims and extends the regular statutes of limitations for cases involving child sex abuse.
