Understanding Missouri Sexual Abuse Laws
The statute of limitations for filing a civil lawsuit depends on the survivor’s age and when the abuse was discovered:
- For child victims: Survivors have until age 31 to file a civil lawsuit against perpetrators and age 26 to file against responsible institutions (e.g., businesses, organizations, summer camps, etc.).
- For adult victims: There is a five-year deadline from the date of the abuse or its discovery.
