Sexually abused child allowed to bring law suit because Statute of Limitations Stayed during military service

In a claim against the Crosiers of the United States, a catholic order of priests, a Minnesota attorney, Jeff Anderson, was at least able to overcome the statute of limitations defenses that prevented him from pursuing eight other cases against the Order. However, at least in the case of one plaintiff, Bob Skjonsby, the case was alllowed to proceed.

Bob had been a naval officer for 20 years. Therefore, the statute of limitations clock was stopped while he spent 20 years in the armed forces. According to Attorney Anderson, that was the legal wedge needed to explore discovery and expose all the abuse cases that were known to the Order.
