Tolling of Statute of Limitations When Defendant Absent from the State of Ohio

There was one case this date from Lucas County, Ohio, Tremp v. Mash - 2014-Ohio-3516, which dealt with the statute of limitations in a sex abuse case against a teacher. The minor waited almost 30 years before filing but made the argument that the teacher had moved out of the State. The Court held that still was not sufficient proof of tolling of the statute and affirmed the summary judgment for the defendant teacher which dismissed the case and the ruling was 3 to 0. It is a good discussion of the statute in regard to tolling for defendants who are absent from the State of Ohio.
