As of January 2020 California law states that, a child who was sexually assaulted now has until their 40th birthday to file a claim. In addition, they also have within 5 years of the discovery of the abuse to file a civil lawsuit. An adult aged 18 or older has 10 years from the date of the last act, or within three years after the discovery of an injury or illness from the act.
