Tennessee Ruling Ends NDAs for Child Abuse Victims

Tennessee just handed survivors a major victory: a landmark court ruling declares NDAs can no longer silence victims of child sexual abuse, even if signed years ago. In a case involving a Brentwood mother bound by secrecy for over a decade after her child was allegedly abused at a church, the court confirmed a 2018 state law applies retroactively. This decision restores voice to survivors, dismantles the legal shield perpetrators once relied on, and could reopen countless past cases. Advocates hail it as justice finally catching up to silence — while a bipartisan federal bill, TREY’s Law, pushes for nationwide change. This ruling isn’t just legal — it’s a powerful statement: victims will no longer be forced to stay quiet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
