Renewed push to follow report on church sex abuse
A Pennsylvania lawmaker from Berks County plans to renew his push to abolish the state’s statute of limitations in sex abuse cases after the publication of a grand jury report on allegations of child sexual abuse within six Roman Catholic dioceses around the state.
Rep. Mark Rozzi, himself a victim of childhood sex abuse in the Allentown diocese, said Tuesday he’s prepared to seek a vote in the state House of Representatives on legislation that carries provisions sought by victims.
Rozzi’s efforts come ahead of the release of a grand jury report into sex abuse in the Catholic dioceses.
