There’s a new voice demanding change to benefit New York’s child sex abuse victims: Matt Sandusky, adopted and abused son of the infamous Penn State pedophile.
The Daily News campaign to eliminate or revise the current cutoff law forcing victims to bring civil or criminal charges by their 23rd birthday needs support from local politicians, Sandusky said Thursday.
“It’s a major effort, and we support that,” the founder and executive director of the Peaceful Hearts Foundation told The News. “The current laws in New York are particularly heinous.
“Victims only have until age 23 to go public — that’s just not realistic. There’s no bigger need for change than in New York, with those type of laws.”
