ALBANY — An upstate investor who was molested as a child in the 1960s says he’s prepared to spend $100,000 or more against incumbent state senators from both parties who refuse to support legislation to help child sexual assault victims.

Gary Greenberg, who lives in New Baltimore, Greene County, and is a minority owner of the casino, hotel and racetrack Vernon Downs, told the Daily News he can’t understand why the Legislature won’t act to give adults who were victimized as children more time to bring criminal and civil cases against their abusers.

“It surprises me that it isn’t at the top of their priority list,” Greenberg said. “Each year goes by but nothing happens and kids are still getting abused every day.”

Greenberg, 57, said he wants to spend $100,000 against senators in both parties if they don’t act. The money could go toward campaign contributions to their opponents or for ads in their districts.
