Wolf v. State, 534 P.3d 822 (Wash. 2023)

Case
August 26, 2024
Description

The three-year time limit to file a case starts as soon as the survivor realizes that a sexually abusive act caused their injuries or problems. It doesn't matter if the act was intentional (by the person who did it) or not acting when you should (by another person, agency, or institution). If there are multiple people involved, the time limit may start at different times for each person depending on when the survivor realizes that person's involvement caused their injuries.
