Statute of Limitations

Eliminate the Statute of Limitations in the USA for sexual abuse. Protect children, not sex offenders.

Why is this important?

The statutes of limitations for sexual abuse in many states are standing in the way of justice. They limit the amount of time victims have to press charges. In many cases the victims are not capable of coming forward until adulthood, many being very young and frightened. They should be able to press charges when they are ready, not told "Sorry, times up." The whole program for convicting sex offenders in the USA is terribly flawed. The system is not set up for individual cases, and it very much should be!
