Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Weatherholtz, K., Aplt. v. McKelvey, D.

December 16, 2025

Summary

Justice Dougherty dissents in part, arguing that the six‑year statute of limitations for protective orders under the Act should begin when the underlying sexual violence occurs, not when a later act or circumstance shows a continued risk of harm, and raising constitutional due‑process and ex‑post‑facto concerns.
