Bill Donohue comments on a bill that will soon be introduced in Albany that will eliminate the statute of limitations for sexual abuse crimes against minors:
On April 1, I issued a news release that was critical of New York State Senator Brad Hoylman for sponsoring a bill that would exclude public institutions from legislation eliminating the statute of limitations for sexual abuse crimes.
I now commend him for pivoting. According to an exclusive by Ken Lovett of the Daily News (he has covered this issue better than anyone), Hoylman, and State Senator Andrea-Stewart Cousins, will submit a bill that covers all institutions equally, whether public or private. That is how it should be: justice demands that young victims of sex crimes be treated equally, independent of the venue of the offense.
