Rochester Catholic Schools Announce Lawsuits Related to Claims of Child Abuse

Rochester Catholic Schools announced on Sunday it is named as a party in civil lawsuits related to the Child Victims Act implemented in May 2013. The new law established a three-year window for survivors of childhood abuse to file a civil claim and seek a just resolution. This window of opportunity closes May 25, 2016. Prior to the Child Victims Act, many survivors of childhood sexual abuse were unable to file a civil claim due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
These lawsuits were filed by child abuse victims that allegedly took place 30 to 50 years ago.
