Child Sexual Abuse Assault Statute Of Limitations in US-AS
Under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1), the statute of limitations for claims of child sexual abuse brought under federal employment discrimination law in the United States is set at a fixed period. This governing authority establishes the time within which a charge must be filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The verified figure of 3 years applies to this filing requirement.
