ALBANY — An upstate investor has put his money where his mouth is when it comes to pushing legislation to make it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice.

Gary Greenberg, who is also a sexual abuse survivor, donated $100,000 of his own money, as promised, to a political action committee he recently created to help with the effort, a financial disclosure filing to be made public later this week will show.

Since its creation in late May, Greenberg’s Fighting for Children PAC has raised a modest $1,635.

The PAC has already donated a combined $77,000 to the seven Democratic candidates it has endorsed in an effort to shift control of the Senate to the Dems.

“The PAC is off and running with a terrific start,” Greenberg told the Daily News in an email. “If I was a Republican senator targeted by the Fighting For Children PAC, I would be worried.”
