This bill, known as "Virginia's Law," significantly expands civil remedies for victims of certain violent crimes by amending title 18 of the United States Code. It establishes new civil causes of action for individuals who are victims of sexual abuse and transportation for illegal sexual activity , allowing them to sue perpetrators and those who knowingly benefit for damages and reasonable attorney fees. These new civil actions would be stayed during any related criminal proceedings. A key provision of the bill is the elimination of time limits for filing civil actions related to the most severe offenses. Specifically, there will be no statute of limitations for civil claims arising from aggravated sexual abuse , sexual abuse of a minor , sex trafficking , and forced labor . For other sexual abuse and illegal transportation offenses, a 10-year statute of limitations applies, or 10 years after the victim reaches 18 years of age if they were a minor at the time of the alleged offense. Furthermore, the bill amends the existing civil remedy for victims of trafficking to also remove the statute of limitations for claims involving forced labor, trafficking with respect to peonage, slavery, involuntary servitude, and sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion. This legislation applies to existing claims not previously barred and new claims, and critically, it establishes a one-year look-back period . This allows certain civil actions that were previously time-barred or dismissed due to statute of limitations to be refiled within one year of the Act's enactment, providing a new opportunity for justice for many victims.
