A political action committee formed by a child sex abuse victim last week backed Democrat Adam Haber in the state Senate Seventh District race to succeed state Sen. Jack Martins.
Haber said that passing the Child Victims Act, legislation that would eliminate the statute of limitations for reporting child sex abuse, would be one of his main goals if elected.
“Sponsoring and passing the Child Victims Act will be a top priority of mine as a state senator so that the victims of child abuse are able to get the justice that they deserve,” he said.
A New York businessman, Gary Greenberg, formed the Fighting for Children PAC two months ago to support state legislators who would vote in favor of the Child Victims Act.
