It is possible that it is not too late. What her statute of limitations is will depend on a number of factors. If she is ready to act on this wrong now, she can give me a call. I have been litigating personal injury claims in California for over 30 years, including sexual trauma cases. You can let her check out my website at the following link and call me for a free consultation.

Mr. Dinday is quite right - California has some helpful laws on tolling the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse.
