(AP) — LEGAL ROADBLOCK: Michigan courts say alleged victims of long-ago sexual abuse can't file civil lawsuits against alleged molesters because of the statute of limitations. Now, they can sue for just a year after turning 18.

NEW LAW: Victims want the Legislature to open up a two-year window during which they could sue.
