LOS ANGELES – Making its way through the California State Legislature is a bill seeking to give more alleged child abuse victims time to sue.
If passed, the bill would permit victims unable to file a lawsuit due to time or age restrictions the chance to confront their abuser’s employer.
The Catholic Church did not fight a similar 2002 bill that opened the flood gates for hundreds of alleged victims.
This time, however, the church is battling hard against the proposed legislation and calling it a step backward.
The Los Angeles archdiocese and other private groups say they have been unfairly targeted because the bill does not apply to public schools.
