Catholic bishop organization in N.Y. wants to do away with legal time-frames in sex abuse cases

The organization representing the state’s Catholic bishops says it supports doing away entirely with the legal time-frames to bring criminal charges in sexual abuse cases.
Dennis Poust, a spokesman for the state Catholic Conference headed by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, told the Daily News on Friday that his organization continues to oppose a one-year window to revive old cases, but supports doing away entirely with the statute of limitations pertaining to criminal sex abuse cases.
