I subscribe to the Marshall Project, a criminal justice reporting project. The June 22 "pick of the day's criminal justice news" included this bit:
Lawmakers in New York once again fail to pass legislation that would extend the statute of limitations on childhood sex abuse. The Child Victims Act had deep-pocketed opposition from the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America. The church and the Boy Scouts acted to prevent sex offenses from coming to light. Well, I'm guessing "the Church" here refers to some Catholic bishops, not the whole church. They are protecting priests and troop leaders who have violated children by silencing the accusers. And the bishops (I don't know what the Boy Scouts do) compensate by challenging the behavior of women and girls.
