Survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking may only be able to answer these questions years or decades after the abuse occurred, experts say. But a clock is running. In Washington state, trafficking victims have just three years to seek civil compensation for the crimes and damage suffered. And then the door closes. The time frame is among the shortest in the nation. Other states have lengthened the civil statutes of limitation for these crimes, but Washington hasn’t addressed them in two decades.

Yet, she says, the intent of the state’s trafficking laws are meant to be broadly interpreted in favor of victims.
