It
is hard to believe that in 2016 New York State law still prohibits
victims of child sex abuse from bringing criminal charges or civil
claims against abusers after their 23 birthday.
The trauma of a child sexually abused by an adult, usually one in a position of authority, can last for decades and coming forward to seek justice is often a gut-wrenching decision. To then deny the victims — children assaulted by adults — the chance for justice is unimaginably cruel.
