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.
That's the problem right there. On the one hand, victims are often too young or intimidated or traumatized to press charges at the time. On the other hand, by the time the damage is released enough to enable the filing of charges, the evidence chain (if there ever was a verifiable one) is long gone - but the accusations can still destroy the innocent.
Bad all around. I see no clear answer except that the law much somehow remain locked to evidence, especially if the statute of limitations is extended.
Usually the objection is not over the lifting of SOL but that such lifting specifically targets the Church.
