Abstract
On November 24, 2022, the New York Adult Survivors Act (“ASA”) claim revival period began, providing adult survivors of certain sexual offenses with a one-year opportunity to retroactively file civil claims against their abusers that were otherwise barred by the 20-year statute of limitations. The ASA follows similar revival statutes in New Jersey, California, and New York itself. It grants a legal remedy to survivors of sexual violence who missed their first opportunity to seek justice[5] and seeks to hold powerful abusers, like Donald Trump, accountable for their actions.
