Maryland ends time limit on child sex abuse lawsuits following massive church scandal
Fox News
Gov. Moore signed a bill to end Maryland’s statute of limitations for lawsuits involving child sex abuse after a report detailed the scope of abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Under current law, people in Maryland who say they were sexually abused as children can’t sue after they reach the age of 38.
"There is no statute of limitations on the hurt that endures for decades after someone is assaulted," Moore, a Democrat, said. "There is no statute of limitations on the trauma that harms so many still to this day, and this law reflects that exact truth."
