Brittany Jones v. Cattaragus County School District
July 30, 2024
Court of Appeals of the State of New York
No. CTQ-2024-00001

CHILD USA filed this amicus brief in support of the Plaintiff-Appellant, urging the Court of Appeals to reject the District Court’s decision that misconstrued the CVA’s revival provision to deny victims long-awaited justice. CHILD USA argues that creating an affirmative defense out of the revival provision’s six-month waiting period, as the District Court has done, would afford yet another layer of protection to institutions that fail to prevent or respond to reports of sexual abuse.
