The Maryland Legislature is hearing public comments concerning two pending bills that would alter the present statute of limitations barring most sexual abuse victims from access to the courts and justice. One of the bills would open a two year window during which abuse victims could file a lawsuit against the perpetrator of the abuse.
The Catholic Church in Maryland strongly opposes such change to the present law. That should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed this tragedy since 2002.
