Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Generally it is covered by Code of Civil Procedure section 340.1. "In an action for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual abuse, the time for commencement of the action shall be within eight years of the date the plaintiff attains the age of majority or within three years of the date the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have discovered that psychological injury or illness occurring after the age of majority was caused by the sexual abuse, whichever period expires later..."

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the entire statute, which you can find here:
