LDS Church Abuse Lawsuit in Idaho

Idaho is the corridor’s most restrictive major venue after Utah: civil child sexual abuse claims must generally be brought by age 23 or within five years of discovering the abuse-injury connection, and recent reform efforts (including SB 1346) died in committee, per the CHILD USA legislative tracker. That makes identification and discovery-rule facts decisive in Idaho — when the survivor connected the harm to the abuse can control whether a lawsuit path exists at all. As elsewhere, the statute limits lawsuits, not direct resolution: identification-strong claims tied to Idaho wards and stakes can still be evaluated for resolution with the institution. Ada County (Boise) and Bonneville County district courts are the principal venues; Doe filing is available by motion.
