As Catholic lay protestors hail the signing of Bill 326-33 into Public Law 33-187 as a moral victory, others in the community have not been so quick to embrace the new law.
Dr. Ricardo Eusebio, president of the lay organization “I Familan Mangatoliku Siha Pari Si Apuron,” or “Catholic Families for Apuron,” told the Post that members of the organization were disappointed at the enactment of the bill because it fails to fully address the injustice perpetrated against victims of child sex abuse.
The new law lifts the statute of limitations on civil lawsuits involving child sex abuse.
“You cannot repair an injustice by creating another injustice,” he said. “It specifically discriminates against private institutions and gives the government a free pass.”
