While the Statute of Limitations with respect to sexual abuse cases is, basically, the same as all personal injury cases, three (3) years, the law does make an exception in cases where people who have suffered sexual abuse and either forgot about the abuse and sublimated the events, or even though they were aware they had been abused, never believed, or understood, they had suffered harm as a result of the abuse. In those cases, the Statute of Limitations would not begin to run until three (3) years from the time they knew, or should have known, they had suffered harm as a result of the sexual abuse.
