COHOES–Gary Greenberg says he was sexually abused by a hospital worker in Cohoes when he was just 7-years-old.
“My life changed in one second because I faced a brutal scumbag who took so much from me,” Greenberg said.
Greenberg is the co-owner of Vernon Downs Casino and Founder of the Fighting for Children PAC. He’s in support of New York’s Child Victim’s Act, which if passed, would allow people who are sexually abused as children, to get justice against their attackers as adults, years after the abuse took place, by extending the statute of limitations for child sex abuse. He’s says he’s putting up 100,000 dollars to defeat state senators who’ve voted against the legislation in the past.
Judy Russo drove from New Jersey, to help support the proposed New York legislation. Russo says she was sexually abused as a child. Years later she says, her own child was abused too.
