Catholic Church Abuse Lawsuit Lawsuit in Colorado

Colorado enacted a lookback window that opened in January 2022 and closed in January 2025. Survivors who did not file during the 3-year window should consult an attorney about remaining options. Colorado's standard civil SOL for childhood sexual abuse is 6 years after the survivor turns 18 (age 24). Colorado's discovery rule may provide additional time for survivors who could not reasonably have identified the connection between their abuse and their documented harm until later. The Archdiocese of Denver has published credibly accused clergy disclosures. No Colorado diocese has filed for bankruptcy as of February 2026.
