A two-year window to report past gender-based assault comes to a close
Update: 2025-02-28
Description
The Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act was sponsored by Councilmember Carlina Rivera of Manhattan. It opened a two-year "look back" window for survivors to report claims of assault, with no statute of limitations.
Since the window was instated, some 540 New Yorkers have sued the city, alleging they were sexually abused by staff at city juvenile detention centers while they were held there as children.
Councilmember Rivera joined WNYC Morning Edition host Michael Hill to talk about the Act, how to file a claim, and what comes next.
