ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – A bill is headed to the Senate that would help child victims report abuse.
The bill passed the Assembly 139 to seven, but the Senate’s failed to pass similar legislation for over a decade.
“I personally was 15 years old when I was molested by a 33 year-old man,” Bridie Farrell, a victim, said.
Farrell didn’t tell anyone.
“I thought it was really my mistake, I thought it was weird and something that wasn’t supposed to be public, but not necessarily a crime.”
It would take her a decade to realize what happened.
