Legal Action Against Sexual Attorney And Class Action Lawyer

In a major victory for victims of sexual abuse, acting Governor Richard Codey has signed into law a bill that will allow sexual abuse victims to sue churches and private schools for hiring and harboring sexual predators. Prompted largely by the child sex abuse scandal in the Cahtolic Church, the bill applies across the board to private schools, churches, Scout troops, and Little Leagues. From now on sexual predators can't be protected by antiquated charitable immunity laws in NJ. This is a cause for hope for all the victims and those who work with them.

Hope for Abuse Victims in NY?

Many states across the country are now considering revising their statute of limitations regarding the sexual abuse of minors. The terrible scandal in the Catholic Church has given rise to more victims coming forward and revealing their tragic abuse stories. There is a growing recognition that this type of trauma runs very deep and the road to recovery takes great courage as well as many years of therapy. It is very often the case that a minor victim of sexual abuse is not able to come forward until that minor becomes a full grown adult. Unfortunately, many of those adult victims have lead and continue to lead lives that bear the scars of that trauma. In NY state, the Court of Appeals will hear arguments this week to overturn the statute of limitations in abuse cases and allow these victims to proceed in their quest for justice. Let's hope the court does the right thing and allows the victims to heal.
