on Valentine’s Day 2019, the governor signed into law the New York Assembly’s far-reaching Child Victims Act, which enhanced the rights of childhood victims of sexual abuse, including a broadening of victims’ rights to file civil suits against their abusers in New York state.
In August 2020, as a result of the pandemic, the New York Assembly drafted and Cuomo signed into law an extension of what’s called the “Look Back Window” to the Child Victims Act. That 2020 legislation increased the time for victims to file civil suits relating to certain historical cases of childhood sexual abuse until August 14, 2021. Which is upon us.
