Oregon CHILD SEX ABUSE


ATTENTION oregon SEXUAL ABUSE SURVIVORS:

States across the country have started opening up and extending new opportunities for victims of childhood sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits against their abusers. Oregon has followed suit by extending its statute of limitations for filing civil lawsuits for sexual abuse to 40 years old. Along with the age limit increase, Oregon state legislatures also upped the discovery limit to five years. This means that sexual abuse survivors in Oregon have five years to file civil claims upon discovering injuries caused by their past sexual abuse. These two new laws mean hundreds of sexual abuse victims in Oregon may get a second chance to hold their abusers or institutions that hid their abuse accountable for their actions.

In addition to these two new sexual abuse laws, Oregon opened their Oregon Crime Victims’ Compensation (CVC) Program to assist victims of violent crime with expenses caused by the crime. This program includes aid for sexual abuse, so speaking to a lawyer about the circumstances surrounding your abuse is important to see if you can apply to be part of this program.
