“Look-Back” Window in Colorado Means You Came Seek Justice Now – Even if the Abuse Occurred Decades Ago.
Colorado’s Governor Polis is expected to sign into law SB 21-088, “Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Act,” which will take effect January 1, 2022 and which states, in relevant part:
“The bill creates a statutory cause of action for a victim of sexual misconduct when the victim was a minor against the actor who committed the sexual misconduct and against an organization that operates or manages a youth program if the sexual misconduct occurred while the victim was participating in a youth program.”
This means that the many survivors in Colorado who have not yet been able to seek justice can now come forward and submit claims.

“ They say it’s just physical abuse but it’s more than that.
This was spiritual abuse. ”

What now?
The Catholic Church has established funds to compensate survivors of childhood sexual abuse. However, the funds will only remain open for a short time so the window of opportunity to apply for these funds is limited. Don’t Wait!
Civil legal action is a way to regain your power.
It’s a way to not only ask for compensation for the trauma you endured but also to change the systemic patten of abuse in the Church and similar institutions.
Even if it has been decades since you were hurt, you may still very well have legal options that will help you and help others.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW
It was not your fault.
The Shame Belongs to Them.
Widespread child sexual abuse occurs because of sexual predators, and it continues because those predators are supported by the very institutions that are supposed to protect children.
