Abstract

A number of high-profile sexual-abuse lawsuits have been filed in New York before the expiration of a state law that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on civil abuse and harassment claims, regardless of how old they are. Among the defendants are New York Mayor Eric Adams, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, and rock legend Axl Rose. The Adult Survivors Act, which took effect in November 2022, allowed survivors to pursue justice that was previously unavailable to them. However, the flood of last-minute cases highlights the need for a reopened window. [Extracted from the article]
