Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Danielle Nadeau v. Jason D. Nadeau
July 14, 20262026 ME 62
Summary
The court held that Danielle’s claims were not barred by the statute of limitations because the evidence established that Jason committed an enumerated sexual act toward a minor. It vacated the judgments on negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress because Danielle proved neither the physical injury required for general negligence nor a special relationship creating a duty to avoid emotional harm. It affirmed the judgment for intentional infliction of emotional distress because the circumstances permitted an inference that Danielle suffered severe emotional distress.
