The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear argument in a case of first impression over whether a six-year catchall statute of limitations applies to the state’s Protection of Victims of Sexual Violence or Intimidation Act.

Allocatur was granted in the case of K.N.B. v. M.D. following an appeal of the state Superior Court’s affirmance of a protection order issued under the PVSVIA by a Clarion County Court of Common Pleas judge.
