Idaho |
| Idaho has enacted a
special statute of limitations for survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Under Idaho Code
§ 6-1704, suit may be brought within five years of the victim reaching
the age of majority. Under amendments passed in 2007, suit may also be
brought five years from the date of reasonable discovery of the abuse
and the causal relationship between the abuse and injuries suffered by
the victim. The statute (including the 2007 amendments) is applicable only to cases arising
after its effective date, July 1, 1989.
Subject to conditions, the 2007 amendments allow a claim against the
employer of a perpetrator pursuant to Idaho Code § 6-1701 and § 6-1607.
The 2007 amendment to the statute of limitations negates the ruling
in Bonner v. The
Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise, 128 Idaho 351, 913 P.2d 567 (1995),
where the
Supreme Court refused to adopt a discovery rule
for repressed memory cases.
