Description
Plaintiff appeals from the summary Disposition of her complaint which alleged damages resulting from a sexual relationship
defendant had with plaintiff from approximately 1970 to 1974 while plaintiff was a high school student and defendant a teacher.
The trial court concluded that plaintiff's complaint was barred by the statute of limitations. We reverse. We hold that the
period of limitation is tolled where the child victim of an illicit sexual relationship psychologically represses the memory
of the events and where, after the memory is revived, there is corroboration that the alleged events actually occurred. We
do not decide whether a less restrictive rule is justified since the facts presently before us do not necessitate an examination
of that issue. In his deposition, defendant admitted to having sexual intercourse with plaintiff, at various times, between the end of
her sophomore year in high school, 1972, and her graduation in 1974. According to defendant, plaintiff began coming to the
home of defendant and his then wife to help his wife correct school papers. His wife, too, was a teacher. Thereafter, defendant
invited plaintiff to help him in correcting papers and a sexual relationship developed.
