“They are identifying predators, predators who might again repeat their crimes on other unknowing individuals,” state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal said. Hoylman-Sigal represents the 47th District in the state Senate, covering much of the west side of Manhattan.
During the one-year window, lawsuits have also been filed against former President Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and former Columbia University gynecologist Dr. Robert Hadden.
The window to file new cases under the New York Adult Survivors Act will close on Thursday, Nov. 23, which is also Thanksgiving.
Hoylman-Sigal told NY1 he’s discussing a new window for adult survivors of abuse to file civil claims, saying “statute of limitations really only benefits the perpetrators.”
