It’s Time For Truth

It’s time for your voice to be heard. It’s time to hold institutions accountable for covering up decades of sexual abuse. It’s your time. If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse in Arizona, a new law gives you the chance to expose your offender and pursue justice publicly or anonymously, as a John or Jane Doe. This includes abuse committed by:

  • A priest or other member of the clergy
  • A Boy Scout leader, Scoutmaster, or other BSA volunteer
  • A teacher, coach, or other authority figure

It’s time for healing. It’s time to reclaim some of your power. It’s time for you to share what happened to you to help prevent similar abuse from happening to others.

It’s Time To Take Your Power Back

On May 27, 2019, Governor Doug Ducey signed into law Arizona’s own victims’ rights bill (HB2466, aka The Arizona Child Victims Act). In so doing, Arizona joined the ranks of New York, New Jersey, and a growing number of other states with Child Victims Acts that effectively reform the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse survivors and open new roads to healing, justice, and accountability.

A historic step forward for child protection, the Arizona Child Victims Act:

  • Extends the age limit to bring a claim against a perpetrator by 12 years, from the current age of 20 to the new age of 30
  • Opens a temporary window for survivors older than 30 to file civil claims against their perpetrators and the institutions that protected them, no matter when the abuse occurred.
  • Takes effect as of signing (May 27, 2019), with the temporary window remaining open until December 30, 2020 for survivors older than 30.

All claims under the Arizona Child Victims Act must be filed by December 30, 2020. Time is limited. Contact us confidentially today.
