Jewish leaders and rabbis from a range of denominations have come out
in support of legislation that would give New York State child sex
abuse victims more time to sue those they hold responsible for their
abuse.
Over the last few days, more than 50 leaders and activists, including some 30 rabbis, signed a letter in support of the Child Victims Act. The measure, first introduced years ago by Margaret Markey, a New York State Assembly Democrat, would extend the statute of limitations for civil suits against alleged sexual abusers of children and against institutions that fail to act against such abuse under their roofs.
