California Senate-passed bill that “could become a national model law” to extend the time youth can sue the Church for sex abuse.

CHINO, Calif., July 17, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Former White House spokesman Robert Weiner and Katie Schulze, Robert Weiner Associates’ Senior Religion Policy Analyst, have spotlighted a California Senate-passed bill that “could become a national model law” to extend the time youth can sue the Church for sex abuse.  They wrote an op-ed titled, “Sen. Leyva’s (D-Chino) bill would protect child victims of sex abuse” published in The Press-Enterprise, San Bernardino County Sun and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. The article supports the Justice for Victims Act, which would allow child victims of sexual assault to press criminal charges against their perpetrator later in life when they are mature and have the courage to do so. The authors contend that the bill would help end the “Catholic Church’s ongoing cover-up of sexual abuse” and urge Assembly passage and Governor Jerry Brown’s signature.
