Where to File in Idaho
Idaho's civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse extends 5 years after the survivor turns 18, capped at age 23. Idaho does not have an active lookback window as of February 2026. The Diocese of Boise has published a credibly accused clergy list. No Idaho diocese has filed for bankruptcy as of this date. Most historical abuse claims in Idaho are time-barred under the standard SOL absent tolling arguments. Survivors should consult an attorney to assess available options, particularly if they can demonstrate they could not have discovered the connection between the abuse and their injuries until recently.
