New York Now <\/em>
\nBy Darrell Camp<\/em>
\nJune 9, 2021<\/em><\/p>\n

With less than two days left in the legislative session, victim rights groups are calling on the state Assembly to advance the Adult Survivors Act<\/a>, which would create a lookback window for adult victims of sexual offenses to sue their abusers.<\/p>\n

The bill is modeled after the Child Victims Act<\/a>, which passed in 2019. The CVA initially created a one-year lookback window for legal action in cases of childhood sexual abuse that fell outside of the statute of limitations. That window has since been extended.<\/p>\n

The Adult Survivors Act would apply that same principle to people who suffered abuse after turning 18. The measure passed the Senate unanimously last week, but it remains in the Judiciary Committee in the Assembly.<\/p>\n

The lag in the Assembly is frustrating some advocates, such as Michael Polenberg with Safe Horizon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe official line we\u2019ve heard is, they are looking at the bill, they are studying the bill, they are talking to their conference about this bill,\u201d Polenberg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think that with so many Assembly members having already signed on, and with a 62 to nothing vote in the Senate just last week, I don\u2019t know what else they need to know or learn about the bill, I think they just need to bring it to the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marissa Hoechstetter, a survivor who works with Safe Horizon, said the issue affects more victims than people realize.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know women in my case who\u2019ve been abused by the same man who chose not to have more kids, who\u2019ve lost their sexual intimacy, who\u2019ve lost marriages,\u201d Hoechstetter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sent a letter on behalf of over 200 victims of Robert Hadden, the same person who assaulted me, asking for this common sense legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadden is a former Columbia University gynecologist who was\u00a0indicted in September of 2020<\/a>\u00a0for the sexual abuse of multiple people over the course of nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n

If the measure does make it to the Assembly floor, advocates anticipate that it would pass with overwhelming support, based on the bipartisan support seen in the Senate.<\/p>\n

At Safe Horizon we know that sexual assault survivors process and heal on their own timeline. Many people need years, or even decades, to come forward, seek help, share their experience, and pursue justice. The reality is that #traumatakestime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laws have historically been out of step with the science of trauma and the realities survivors face. Over the years, Safe Horizon has led coalitions of advocates, survivors, and lawmakers, urging the New York State legislature to remove barriers to safety for victims of violence and abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After working tirelessly for decades, we celebrated a historic victory for survivors when the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) became law in 2022. The ASA made it possible for survivors of sexual violence to seek justice by filing a civil lawsuit against the person who caused them harm, even if the harm occurred many years ago. When the ASA's \u2018lookback window\u2019 closed on November 24, 2023, over 3,000 suits had been filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our hope that these lawsuits will finally spur lasting, meaningful change in how our society addresses attitudes towards sexual assault.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe Horizon, the Adult Survivors Act Coalition, and bill sponsors Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal proudly led the statewide, multiyear campaign for the ASA. We could not do this work without this collective support, courage, and determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the lookback window is closed, we remain committed to fighting for more pathways to justice for survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More About the Adult Survivors Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On May 24, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) into law, granting survivors of sexual assault an opportunity to heal and seek justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adult Survivors Act created a special one-year look-back window, allowing survivors whose case or claim had expired outside the statute of limitations, and who were 18 or older when they were sexually assaulted in New York State, to file a lawsuit against the person who harmed them and\/or the negligent institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-year window allowed survivors to sue, even if they were already outside of the civil statute of limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ASA window opened on November 24, 2022, and closed on November 24, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 3,000 lawsuits were filed under the ASA. Many people learned about this critical legislation through our PSA<\/a> and raised awareness using our social media toolkit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
