"Bluestone, however, gave Annie Altman's lawsuit a lifeline by allowing her to refile it using Missouri's particular Childhood Sexual Abuse law, which offers an extended statute of limitations."
"Sam Altman's countersuit said that his sister made up the allegations of sexual abuse, posting them on social media as well as including them in her lawsuit after their family declined her demands for unrestricted financial support."
"One of the only points of agreement in this case is that the claims are disturbing particularly so if they prove true but nonetheless unfortunate if not."
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by Annie Altman against her brother, Sam Altman, for sexual abuse due to late filing. The judge permitted her to refile under Missouri's Childhood Sexual Abuse law, extending the statute of limitations. Sam Altman countersued for defamation, claiming the allegations were fabricated after family financial support was denied. The judge noted the disturbing nature of the claims, regardless of their truth. Annie alleged abuse occurred from 1997 to 2006, starting when she was three years old. Sam Altman denied the allegations and cited family mental health issues.
