The North Carolina General Assembly passed the SAFE Child Act in 2019 and one of its key provisions allowed anyone who was a victim of sexual abuse as a child to file civil claims against his or her perpetrator and the institutions that enabled the abuse
This provision revives older claims despite the fact that their statute of limitations for had expired. This law provided victims with two years - from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.
Time is running out for these victims. The deadline is fast approaching and is December 31, 2021. Spread the word. If you know someone who was sexually abused when they were under 18 years of age by a member of the clergy, teacher, doctor, etc. please urge them to take action before time runs out.
