ALBANY – NY Senator Cathy Young<\/strong> (R-Olean) is also announcing legislation she says will advance justice and healing for survivors of childhood sexual abuse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Under the new legislation sponsored by Young in the Senate, prosecutors will be able to better prosecute perpetrators of sex abuse, while victims will also have better access to restitution.<\/p>\n

Key elements of the measure include creation of a $300 million state fund from asset forfeiture monies to compensate victims for physical and psychological harm. It also eliminates the criminal statute of limitations for child sex offenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildhood sexual abuse is one of society\u2019s most insidious crimes. Perpetrated on innocent children, often by someone they know and trust, these crimes are frequently shrouded in shame, confusion and silence, leaving victims with deep emotional and psychological wounds that can take decades to confront,\u201d said Senator Young. \u201cWhile the wounds will never fully heal, victims deserve access to all avenues of justice, both criminal and monetary. This legislation serves as the bridge to that justice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
