Childhood sexual abuse in Michigan, by setting
Last checked: 15 October 2026
The main Michigan deadlines for civil claims and criminal charges are the same whatever the setting. What differs is who must report, which agency takes complaints, and, for public schools, universities and other public bodies, extra rules on immunity, notice and claims against the state.
- Church and clergy: Official lists of accused clergy and the Attorney General's reports.
- Schools: Governmental immunity and what SB 260 would change.
- Universities: Claims against the state, notice and deadlines.
- Sports: Reporting and the U.S. Center for SafeSport.
- Medical: Licensing complaints and the 2018 window for claims against physicians.
- Youth programs and camps: Recent reports and where to get help.
- Juvenile facilities and foster care: Reporting and licensing complaints.
