This bill, known as "Virginia's Law," significantly expands civil remedies for victims of sexual abuse and human trafficking. It creates new federal civil causes of action, allowing individuals who are victims of sexual abuse (under Chapter 109A of Title 18) and transportation for illegal sexual activity (under Chapter 117 of Title 18) to sue perpetrators for damages and attorney fees. These civil actions would be stayed during any concurrent criminal proceedings, and generally have a 10-year statute of limitations, or 10 years after the victim turns 18. A key provision of the bill is the elimination of statutes of limitations for civil actions related to the most severe forms of these crimes. Specifically, there would be no time limit for civil claims involving aggravated sexual abuse, sexual abuse, sexual abuse of a minor, sex trafficking of children, forced labor, and other severe trafficking offenses. This ensures that victims of these egregious crimes are not prevented from seeking justice due to the passage of time. Furthermore, the bill amends existing law concerning civil remedies for trafficking victims (Section 1595 of Title 18) to remove time limits for actions related to forced labor, trafficking with respect to peonage, slavery, involuntary servitude, and sex trafficking. The legislation also includes an important one-year look-back period , allowing certain claims that were previously barred by statutes of limitations to be filed within one year of the bill's enactment, thereby providing a new opportunity for justice for many survivors.
