from L Moss Sharman Time on side of abuse victims - New law suspends limit on civil suits By Christi Parsons - Tribune staff reporter 11/2/03 11/2/03 "By dramatically changing the way Illinois law looks at child sexual abuse and the nature of the harm it causes, a new statute has opened the door for many more civil suits against alleged abusers. The new law puts Illinois among the most lenient in how much time can pass before such a suit is filed, by essentially suspending the age limit for some accusers. The law now acknowledges the difference between unlocking a repressed memory of abuse and actually recognizing that it was harmful, giving accusers time for both realizations to happen before shutting the door to litigation. It may seem a subtle nuance, but the new law's language radically shifts the landscape for abuse victims, who experts say may take decades to realize the consequences of what happened to them. The change means everything for adults who were sexually abused as children, say victims and their advocates. Whereas before the new law almost no one older than 28 had any legal recourse, now anyone of any age could conceivably bring a lawsuit." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0311020217nov02,1,1920966.story?coll=chi-newslocal-hed
