Pennsylvania House approves aid measures for sex abuse victims
The House passed bills to drop the criminal statute of limitations for child sex crimes and to seek a constitutional amendment expanding a civil window for lawsuits where time has expired. Senate momentum is uncertain while Democrats offer a retroactive window to cover all sex crime victims, including adults referenced by Cosby and Sandusky cases. Republicans gave no quick indications of action in the Senate.
