S. 3103 – the Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act of 2022 – has been codified as 18 U.S. Code § 2255. This simply means that S. 3103 is also recognized as applying to the 18 U.S.C. § 2255 law, the latter of which previously only allowed survivors of childhood sexual abuse 10 years from the date that a crime occurred (or until one’s 18th birthday) to file a civil lawsuit in federal court.Under the Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act, the statute of limitations is now removed for 18 U.S.C. § 2255. As a result, the law now states that any person who, as a minor, was a victim of various violations (such as sexual abuse, human trafficking, etc.) and suffered a personal injury as a result may sue in any appropriate United States District Court. Furthermore, a survivor of child sex abuse shall recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, under the amending of U.S.C. § 2255. Moreover, 18 U.S.C. § 2255 now stipulates that a victim of child sex abuse may sue regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a minor.
