HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – A group of Pennsylvania lawmakers has introduced legislation to increase the amount of time in which victims of child sexual abuse can seek justice in the courts.
Senate Bill 582 and a companion measure, House Bill 661, would raise the age from 30 to 50 years for adult victims of child sex abuse to seek civil action.
Another proposal, House Bill 655, would entirely remove the statute of limitations on civil and criminal complaints.
