Childhood sex abuse cases will now be heard even if abuse happened decades ago

News 12 Brooklyn

Attorneys are calling it a historic moment.

Childhood sex abuse survivors will now be able to have their cases heard even if the abuse happened decades ago.

The change now allows a one-year window for anyone who suffered child sex abuse to file a civil lawsuit no matter when it happened.

What I find disturbing is when I see Mayor DeBlasio on television I get uneasy and feel tense because my childhood sexual abuser looks so much like him,

I’m a black sixty four (64) years old male. I was sexually abuse by a white man in his park house way back in the sixties. I can’t understand why I can remember the abuse like is was yesterday. My life has been forever ruined.
