The Roman Catholic Church is opposing efforts in New York to allow
sex abuse accusers to file lawsuits after the statute of limitations has
expired, warning of dire financial consequences if the state allows
plaintiffs to sue decades after the purported abuse occurred.
Currently in New York, victims of child sex abuse have until five years after they turn 18 to file a lawsuit. The same statute of limitations applies to most child sex crimes.
