Supreme Court of Kansas

John Doe v. M.J.

April 22, 2022508 P.3d 368

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of the defendants' motions to dismiss, judgment on the pleadings, and summary judgment in an action arising from alleged childhood sexual abuse. It held that disputed facts concerning the timing of the abuse and the plaintiff's discovery of his injuries could not be resolved at the pleading or preliminary-discovery stage, and that the applicable extended limitations period reaches claims against institutional defendants whose conduct allegedly contributed to the resulting injuries.
