ALBANY - In a crushing blow to victims, the state Legislature ended the
2016 legislative session early Saturday without acting on legislation
to help child sex abuse survivors.
An all-night session to wrap up up the legislative year did not lead to a last-minute miracle that advocates were hoping for. “The survivors were thrown a tattered raft in this stormy session,” said Kathryn Robb, an advocate and sexual abuse survivor.
