Attorney General Anthony G. Brown issued the below statement today after the Supreme Court of Maryland, in a 4 – 3 ruling, upheld the Child Victims Act (CVA) of 2023 as constitutional. The Child Victims Act eliminates restrictions that had prevented many victims of child sexual abuse from seeking justice as adults.

"Today's decision by the Supreme Court of Maryland confirms that the passage of time will not prevent survivors from seeking justice for sexual abuse they suffered as children. I am proud of the role our office played in defending this landmark statute."
