About Colorado Senate Bill 88

What Survivors Need To Know About The New Law

Survivors of child sexual abuse will soon be able to bring claims against those who harmed them, even if they were previously past the statute of limitations. Colorado Senate Bill 88 has created a three-year window—Jan 1, 2022, to Jan 1, 2025—for all lawsuits involving child sexual abuse that occurred in or after 1960. Survivors can sue not only those who abused them but also any organization responsible for their abuse.

If you have questions about what this law means for you, our phone lines are open. Call us today at (303) 835-9227 for a free and confidential consultation.

Why File a Claim?

Legal Action Provides Concrete Benefits to Sexual Abuse Survivors

Taking sexual abusers to civil court is not the same as a criminal case. While criminal trials may end in punitive action, they do not address the harm visited on survivors. In a civil trial, on the other hand, you can request compensation to help you access therapy, counseling, and other necessary care. 

We understand how difficult it can be to come forward with a sexual assault claim, especially if previous attempts to hold abusers accountable have faced pushback from those in powerful positions. Under Colorado law, you may be eligible to file a claim against an organization or individual who shielded your abuser from consequences, thus allowing them to target you. After hearing your story, we can explain your legal options and help you decide whether moving forward with a claim is the right choice for you.

What Is Sexual Assault In Colorado?

Sexual assault is a serious felony. The state of Colorado defines sexual assault (rape) as any form of a forced or non-consensual act involving sexual penetration or sexual intrusion. The sexual act must be penetrative, including vaginal, oral, or anal sex, including penetration with a foreign object.

Class 2 Felony: Sexual assault is considered a class 2 felony if it involved more than one person, a serious injury, and/or a deadly weapon.

Class 3 Felony: Sexual assault is considered a class 3 felony if there was physical force or violence involved, there was a threat of physical force or physical violence or serious injury, and/or there was drugging involved without the victim's consent.


If you feel that you may have a claim, do not hesitate to contact our compassionate and experienced legal team. All consultations are free and confidential. 


Class 4 Felony: Sexual assault is considered a class 4 felony if the defendant did not use force, and/or the victim of sexual abuse was not injured.

If you feel that you may have a claim, do not hesitate to contact our compassionate and experienced Denver sexual abuse attorneys.
