HARRISBURG, Pa. – Victims of child sexual abuse and their advocates gathered beneath the Capitol dome in Harrisburg on Monday.
Led by Pennsylvania Rep. Mark Rozzi, a Berks County Democrat who, himself, was abused as a child, they called on the full House of Representatives to take up a pair of bills that would reform child sex abuse statute of limitations.
Rozzi cited a pattern of child sex abuse cases continuing to be revealed across the country, the most recent one being in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, where a grand jury found that hundreds of children were sexually abused for at least 40 years.
