Can You File a Lawsuit Under the Sexual Abuse And Cover-Up Accountability Act?

A recent new California law known as Assembly Bill 2777 (AB 2777) or the Sexual Abuse And Cover-Up Accountability Act provides a three-year window for adult survivors of sexual assault to file civil claims for financial damages due to a sex crime that occurred after January 1, 2009.

This means that sexual assault and abuse claims, which the statute of limitations would otherwise bar, can now be brought in civil court by any survivor impacted as an adult (18 years or older) through the end of 2026.

California law defines sexual assault as touching another person's intimate parts, such as a sexual organ, groin, anus, buttocks, or breast, against the victim's will and for the specific purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse. Some examples include rape, sexual battery, sexual harassment, and forced groping.

California Code of Civil Procedure 340.16 says that an adult survivor of sexual assault, abuse, or any similar sexual violence may sue for financial damages within 10 years of the date of the last act or attempt to act. Additionally, adult survivors of sexual abuse may file claims within three years after they discover (or should have known) that the crime caused a physical injury or illness.

Notably, however,  AB 2777 temporarily pauses the statute of limitations to allow adult survivors of California sexual abuse a three-year window to file lawsuits. As of January 1, 2023, all adult survivors of sexual assault are now able to bring their claims in civil court to seek secure compensation for crimes committed on or after Jan 1, 2009.
