SENATOR MARC PANEPINTO CALLS FOR REPEAL OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES AGAINST MINORS
(Long Island, NY) On FRIDAY, February 6th at 10:30 a.m., Senator Marc Panepinto will stand alongside childhood sexual abuse victims, Vanessa DeRosa and Tino Flores, and call for the repeal of New York’s controversial statute-of-limitations for sexual offenses against minors. This criminal procedure law currently supports one of the shortest windows in the country for pursuing sexual-abuse complaints through the courts.
Senator Panepinto has co-sponsored two senate bills, S.850 and S.63, which eliminate these archaic laws and bring much needed reform to our legal system. He will discuss the impact of these bills and his role on the Senate Codes Committee – which has repeatedly failed to bring this legislation to the Senate floor – during Friday’s press conference.
WHO: Senator Marc Panepinto; Vanessa DeRosa; Tino Flores; Managing Partner Diane Tiveron and several attorneys from HoganWillig.
WHAT: Senator Panepinto will call for the repeal of New York’s controversial and antiquated statute-of-limitations for sexual offenses against minors.
WHERE: Walter J. Mahoney State Office Building, Hearing Room 4 – 65 Court Street, Buffalo, NY 14202
WHEN: FRIDAY, February 6th at 10:30 a.m.
Senator Panepinto represents the 60th Senate District, which includes parts of the City of Buffalo as well as communities in both the Northtowns and the Southtowns of Western New York.
