Answer:
In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for civil actions related to childhood sexual assault or abuse is generally five years. This period can start from:
- The date of the act or the last act in a series of acts by the same perpetrator.
- The date the victim knew, or should have known, about the act.
- The date the victim turns eighteen years old.
If a complaint is filed after the five-year period, it must be accompanied by a motion to seal the record, which will be sealed until the court rules on the motion.
To pursue this type of case, you should consult a local attorney who specializes in sexual harassment or assault law.
