Connecticut has a strict statute of limitations for filing criminal charges against your abuser. However, a civil claim for damages from childhood sexual abuse may often be filed well into adulthood — usually at any time before the victim turns 48.
Furthermore, Connecticut state law places no statute of limitations for lawsuits against sexual abusers who have been convicted of first-degree sexual assault. Even if it’s been many years since the abuse occurred, a sexual abuse lawyer can still help you file a claim.
