The Catholic Church and others stand in the way of reforming Pa.’s child sex abuse statute of limitations. I am not Catholic.
I am a survivor of child sexual abuse. From the ages 10-12, I was repeatedly violated by a man my parents trusted. My abuse only ended when my abuser became engaged to be married. I remember feeling relief that my nightmare was over; now someone else would take care of my abuser’s sexual needs. I didn't understand at age 12 it was not over, nor would it ever be over. I did not understand that my abuse was something I would have to learn to carry.
