   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3225
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Chief Judge Riley, Circuit Judge
   and Strom, District Judge]
   Civil Case - sexual abuse. Because the sexually abusive conduct as
   alleged in the complaint was sufficient to place a reasonably prudent
   person on notice of a potentially actionable injury at the time the abuse
   occurred and victim did not allege he repressed the memories of the
   abuse, the cause of action accrued in 1992, was tolled until victim turned
   21 and ran out on November 22, 2003; thus the state law claims are
   barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The federal claims are also
   time-barred. The childhood sexual abuse claims also accrued at the time
   of the abusive conduct, and the victim was not entitled to the benefit of
   the revised Missouri statute extending the statute for 10 years. The
   childhood sexual abuse statute does not apply to nonperpetrator
   defendants and thus the district court did not err in dismissing the claims
   against the school district and the principal. Even if the school district
   and principal could be sued under an aider/abettor or ratification theory,
   no factual bases were pleaded for such claims. The district court did not
   err in denying as futile the motion to amend the complaint.
