Where to File in Oklahoma

Oklahoma's civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse extends 5 years after the survivor turns 18, capped at age 23. Oklahoma does not have an active lookback window as of February 2026. The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and Diocese of Tulsa have published credibly accused clergy lists. No Oklahoma diocese has filed for bankruptcy. Most adult survivors of historical clergy abuse in Oklahoma face significant SOL barriers. Survivors should consult an attorney about discovery rule tolling, and should be aware that Oklahoma legislators have considered but not yet enacted lookback window legislation.
