Rhode Island has enacted sweeping civil statute of limitations reform for child sexual abuse cases, creating new opportunities for survivors to pursue accountability. In this episode, attorney Eric DiMario explains how the law was reformed, why civil litigation goes beyond financial compensation, and what it means for survivors and institutions.In this episode, Ben, Jennifer, and Eric DiMario discuss:Rhode Island's path to comprehensive statute of limitations reformWhy civil litigation uncovers hidden perpetrators and institutional failuresLegislative opposition and constitutional arguments surrounding reformThe role of civil justice in survivor healing and institutional accountabilityKey Takeaways:[0:06:09] Rhode Island's reform required years of persistence — After failed legislative efforts beginning in 2019, Rhode Island enacted a comprehensive civil ‘window’/reform bill in 2026 that reopened the courthouse doors to child sexual abuse survivors.[0:09:12] Civil lawsuits can identify perpetrators and survivors — Litigation helps expose hidden offenders, identify additional survivors, connect victims with resources, and uncover institutional failures.[0:14:35] Delayed reporting should not shield institutions from accountability — Claims that evidence fades over time ignore the fact that institutions often delayed justice by concealing abuse.[0:20:33] Strong legal reform can reshape institutional responses — Broad civil accountability encourages organizations to report abuse promptly, strengthen safeguards, and reduce future cover-ups.
