Kamensky Cohen has recently had a remarkable success in a legal claim against the American Boychoir School in Princeton New Jersey. Our client claimed that the former director of the school and other co-workers were involved in pedophilia in multiple instances.

This childhood sexual abuse case presented several unique problems including the fact that it was over 35 years old. The concept of the statute of limitations made this a very difficult matter to overcome, however, our legislature in New Jersey has passed legislation which allows a more liberal interpretation of the statute of limitations. Our Supreme Court in a similar case recently provided “good law” upon which reroute let rely to get past that statute of limitations which is ordinarily two years. In a settlement reached less than one month ago our client entered into an agreement the provided him with a sum of money that we are not permitted to disclose. Our client, however, has expressed great satisfaction with this outcome. Sexual abuse is a problem that has been pervasive and has been widely reported in the press in the past several years. Claims against the church, against private schools and individuals have been handled by this office with great success.

The Labor Law Department at Kamensky Cohen is presently involved in several claims of sexual harassment, some of which have already been resolved, once again, to the great satisfaction of our clients.
