NC: North Carolina Supreme Court Upholds Law That Allowed 2 More Years for Child Sex Abuse Suits

North Carolina’s highest court has upheld a law that gave adult victims of child sexual abuse two additional years to seek civil damages

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s highest court upheld on Friday a law that gave adult victims of child sexual abuse two additional years to seek civil damages, rejecting arguments that the temporary window violated constitutional protections for those facing claims that otherwise could no longer be pursued in court.

In a case involving a local school board sued by three former students years after an ex-high school coach was convicted of crimes against team members, the state Supreme Court ruled the General Assembly was able to enact a key provision within the 2019 SAFE Child Act that was also signed by then-Gov. Roy Cooper.

Before the law, victims of sexual abuse before age 18 effectively had until turning 21 to file such civil claims against perpetrators. Now such victims have until they’re age 28. But the issue before the court in the Gaston County case was the provision that gave other child sex abuse victims whose time period to sue ended the ability to file valid lawsuits for damages from January 2020 through December 2021.
Supporters of the provision said it allowed victims to ensure their abusers and institutions that allowed abuse to happen pay for the damage, and that abusers are called out publicly. At least 250 child sex abuse lawsuits were filed in North Carolina under that one-time lookback period, according to a board legal brief.

A divided state Court of Appeals panel in 2023 had already upheld the two-year window as constitutional.

Where are all the victims?

If Lifetime Frightening & High Risk of continued Predation were anything other than a LIE, how would it be possible for any of the people that have their past misdeeds exposed, to not have a trail of victims that go on and on up to the present?

Shouldn’t every single one of these people have accusers, both ancient and current, telling stories about how the accused snatched them from a playground? How can these look back extensions to Statues of Limitations not result in hundreds, thousands, even millions of people telling stories about “Predatory behaviors” that continue on to this day, and include all of these accused?

No kid would ever dream of telling a story about what their teacher did today, but adults are more than happy to join a Me Too Chorus of people singing about what he did to them decades ago…

…however virtually none of the millions upon millions of In-Public Stranger Attack victims Universal Lifetime, F&H Predation demands there have to be, ever join the chorus? How is that possible, and why is it true the supermajority of times?

The State LIES only work if they are leveled at a person that has current accusers. Some Teacher is currently facing charges for accusations that have occurred recently… sure, you can made up any story you want about how many additional victims this guy has wracked up over the course of his lifetime, no problem! However…

…You get people that come forward telling stories about what this guy did to them decades ago… you need to show a trail of victims that lead right up to today to make “Lifetime F&H” plausible. This also has to be everyone if you want to suggest that this is universally and eternally true. It can’t just be a tiny minority, they all need recent victims, and these victims have to be telling stories about how the accused was a stranger to them at the start.

There also needs to be accusers telling stories from outside of school! All of them need accusers telling stories about playground snatchings, candy facilitated “Grooming”, CP Home studios, endless Internet hook-up attempts… evidence that all the LIES the State claims are Universally and Eternally True, actually happened! Not just with a tiny few, but evidence, or at least accusations, that they all did all of these things, and are all continuing to do them today!

Thousands upon thousands of people exposed by this process, virtually none of them have “Snatching” evidence nor accusers, and the majority of the over 60 accused have no recent accusers, nor any evidence that they are recent victims. Many that get exposed by these extensions have only a single accuser telling a story about a single instance that took place decades ago, and began when the accused used their position of access and authority to facilitate the crime. How can that, and Universal, Eternal F&H both be true?

Where are the millions of victims that Universal, Lifetime, Predatory Frightening and High has to have created, and why are the Supermajority of victims of the most egregious crimes all taking that secret to the grave, year after year… decade after decade, generation after generation?

Universal, Lifetime Frightening and High Predation is a LIE, and these look backs are making that obvious, and undeniable.
