New York legislation to relax one of the nation's most restrictive
statutes of limitations on child molestation victims continues to stall
under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church and other opponents.

The fate of the Child Victims Act could rest with Senate Leader John Flanagan, a Long Island Republican, who supporters say has refused to meet to discuss the bill.
