Hartford, Connecticut - “A bill in Connecticut’s legislature that would remove the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse cases has sparked a fervent response from the state’s Roman Catholic bishops, who released a letter to parishioners Saturday imploring them to oppose the measure.”
Wonder what this bill states. Sometime charges and claims are made several decades after the incident that are difficult to verify, investigate, or prove. Often the mere charges alone are enough to destroy a person especially if falsely made.
In those states when homosexuality was a crime like in Texas (before it was declared unconstitutional) the statute of limitations was one year. Had Texas wanted to lift the statute of limitations at that time there would have been mass protests by the gay and lesbian community.
