How Long Is Connecticut’s Present Statute of Limitation?
Connecticut presently gives one bringing a damages claim for childhood sexual abuse against a Catholic or other non-governmental entity thirty years after reaching the age of majority. This means that a child who was abused as a child has until his forty-eighth birthday to bring his claim. This law was passed in 2002. It applies retroactively, even to revive claims that were previously time-barred. Connecticut’s present law is the longest retroactive statute of limitation in the nation.
