title: Child sexual abuse and the right to compensation.
abstract: Adults who were sexually abused as children can sue the perpetrator in the civil courts. However, if they do not do so within the time period set down by the Limitation Act 1980, they may not be entitled to any compensation. Is the law, therefore, biased against them?
