SURVIVORS AND ADVOCATES SAY THE CURRENT LAWS HAVE LEFT TOO MANY WITHOUT A PATH TO JUSTICE. AND TODAY THEY’RE CALLING ON LAWMAKERS TO CHANGE THAT. NOW THEY’RE RALLYING FOR WHAT’S KNOWN AS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WINDOW, LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ALLOW SURVIVORS OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE TO FILE CIVIL CLAIMS, EVEN IF THE LEGAL DEADLINE HAS PASSED. RIGHT NOW, ADVOCATES SAY CURRENT LAWS HAVE KEPT MANY VICTIMS FROM EVER SEEING THEIR DAY IN COURT, WHILE ABUSERS AND GROUPS INVOLVED AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY. IT’S PART OF A YEARS LONG FIGHT THAT GAINED ATTENTION AFTER THE GRAND JURY REPORT INTO ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. BUT DESPITE THAT ATTENTION, ORGANIZERS SAY LITTLE TO NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. WE TALKED WITH THE ORGANIZER, WHO IS ALSO A SURVIVOR, AND SHE BELIEVES THIS CHANGE WOULD FINALLY GIVE VICTIMS THE TIME AND OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD. IT IS SO OVERDUE FOR THIS TO BE ENACTED. IT IS SO OVERDUE FOR SURVIVORS IN PENNSYLVANIA TO BE GIVEN ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND DUE PROCESS. WE HAVE HIDDEN PREDATORS OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THESE BAD AND OUTDATED LAWS, AND. THIS SHOULD MATTER TO EVERY PENNSYLVANIAN. THE NATIONAL CRIME VICTIM RIGHTS RALLY STARTS AT 11, AND THE SURVIVOR RALLY FOR THE WINDOW LEGISLATION BEGINS AT 130 HERE AT THE STATE CAPITOL.
