A billboard in Times Square and PSA has launched to spread the word about the one-year window beginning on Nov. 24 for survivors to sue their abusers and the institutions that protected sexual predators in New York.
, joined Yang in pushing for the passage of the ASA, more for the benefit of other survivors than for herself. She is focused on making sure other survivors are aware of the window and is still deciding whether or not she will use the ASA for herself to sue those against whom she has claims.
“Like so many survivors, I now have this opportunity,” Dixon notes. “But unlike so many survivors, I’ve also had the opportunity to have my story told and vetted at a very high level by rigorous third party media outlets, which is not available to survivors whose perpetrator isn’t famous. And so, for them, this would be their first opportunity to set the record straight.”
A number of women have already signaled that they will use the ASA to file claims, most notably journalist, whose lawyers told a judge that she plans to sue former President Donald Trump later this month. Many others are expected to utilize the window, and the floodgates will open over the next 12 months.
“I think there will be thousands of cases, and some of them will be high profile, and some of them won’t. And they’re all really, really important,” says Safe Horizon’s Liz Roberts. “But yeah, I think there will be some high profile cases. There’s a lot of history in New York.”
