The Effects of the Me Too Movement on the Legal System

After the accusations against Harvey Weinstein, we start to see some efforts from the legal system to address this problem of survivors not having enough time to make their accusations. One of the strategies that lawmakers come up with in New York State is called the Adult Survivors Act. It gives people a one-time window of one year from November of 2022 to November of 2023 to file a civil case against someone who sexually abused them no matter how long ago the abuse took place. And so as soon as the AdultSurvivor's Act passes, eating Carol uses that to file her civil suit against Donald Trump. The trial begins on April 25th and lasts for two weeks.
