The Louisiana Supreme Court announced it is reconsidering its ruling of overturning the state law that allowed childhood sexual abuse victims more time to file civil lawsuits.
Richard Trahant, Soren Gisleson, John Denenea, Kevin Duck, and Cle Simon – attorneys for Douglas Bienvenu, et al – released a statement on the announcement.
“This is a great day for child sexual abuse survivors and the children of Louisiana. It is a bad day for pedophiles and those who protect them. We commend the two Justices (Chrichton and Griffin) who decided to give this issue another look. Good judges sometimes change their minds.”
Associate Justice Jefferson Hughes dissented.
