HARRISBURG - Four lawyers, including the top aide to the Pennsylvania
attorney general, told a state Senate panel Monday that a bill to let
child sex-abuse victims sue for decades-old attacks would violate the
state's constitution and ultimately fail if challenged in the courts.
"However righteous the policy goals behind [the bill], the General Assembly in its zeal cannot overrule a state constitutional right," said Bruce L. Castor Jr., the former Montgomery County prosecutor who was appointed solicitor general this year by Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane.
