Your study of the issue with the judge, is really good, and Trump should win an appeal.
Yet, I was hoping . . . wondering where are the many victims of sex trafficking (re Jeffrey Epstein case and other cases). The victims have their chance to expose and sue:
- the long list of sex trafficking clients
- corrupt politicians representing New York in years past
- corrupt law enforcement agencies, departments, and
- other institutions that insulated abusers from justice:
“Survivors are not limited to suing their abusers - they can also hold accountable the institutions that insulated those abusers from justice.”

EXCERPTS:
Who can you sue?
Another powerful provision of the law is who it allows to be named as a defendant. Survivors are not limited to suing their abusers - they can also hold accountable the institutions that insulated those abusers from justice. These institutions can include entities that had responsibility to keep the survivor safe and to control the actions of the abuser. Claims against the institutions can involve both intentional and negligent acts. If your abuser was part of a larger organization that contributed to or failed to prevent, notice, or stop the abuse, the ASA empowers you to go after that organization.
Read the leftists between the lines in this law. It’s intended to get the Catholic Church. The Oakland Catholic Diocese just declared bankruptcy last week because California also allows going after the institutions.
I write this as a person who signed a multi-felony indictment against a Catholic Priest for embezzling from his own Cathedral.
