A thinning window of time remains for survivors of childhood sexual abuse in Minnesota to file suit, in some cases after decades of silence.
With a May 25 deadline approaching, experts say they expect a rush of claims under the Child Victims Act, which for the last three years has lifted the statute of limitations for child sex abuse civil lawsuits.
Under the Act, nine individuals are suing the Children’s Theatre Company and some of its former employees for alleged sexual assault of minors during the ’60s through the ’80s.
Four of those claims name Dinkytown entrepreneur Jason McLean, owner of the Loring Pasta Bar and Varsity Theater.
Other victims have accused the theater’s co-founder and then- art director John Clark Donahue and late sound and lights technician Stephen Adamczak of sexual abuse.
