A presentation Thursday highlighted Guam residents’ support for a bill that would help child sexual abuse victims.
Sen. Frank Blas Jr. received petitions containing more than 3,000 signatures in favor of his bill that would lift civil statutes of limitations in child sexual abuse cases.
Members of Silent No More, the Concerned Catholics of Guam and the Laity Forward Movement attended the presentation of petitions for Bill No. 326-33 (COR) at the Guam Legislature in Hagåtña. Family members of people who alleged clergy sexual abuse also attended.
The bill was authored in May and was later strengthened to help victims sue individuals and institutions.
