HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) –
Philadelphia State Representatives Michael McGeehan and Louise Bishop said the House Judiciary Committee has had 15 months to take action on two bills that would strengthen out dated child sexual abuse laws.

McGeehan’s bill is calling for a special two-year window for filing civil action in a childhood sexual abuse case. Bishop, a victim of sexual abuse as a child, is pushing a bill that would remove the statute of limitations for filing criminal charges for sexual offenses.
