For its victims, child sex abuse is a lifetime sentence, so we
support a bill to eliminate New York’s statute of limitations on
lawsuits in these situations. Now, victims of child sex abuse can
file a lawsuit up until they turn 23. But their anguish doesn’t vanish
with their birthday. Their scars don’t go away.
The victims must struggle every day to carry the weight of what they endured; why should the perpetrators be allowed, after a few years have passed, to move past the possibility that they could one day be called to account?
