A law that launched 2,500 sex abuse suits is expiring. It’s left a trail of claims vs. celebs, jails
Alexandria Johnson, 35, stands for a photo, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023, in Oneonta, N.Y. Johnson filed separate lawsuits against New York City and the state corrections department under the Adult Survivors Act, alleging repeated sexual assaults while she was incarcerated at Rikers Island, as well as at the state's Bedford Hills facility that led to the termination of her pregnancy. "I had to take a chance that there would be justice," said Johnson, of her decision to file the law suits. (Heather Ainsworth/AP)
