Lawmakers take step toward eliminating statute of limitations for sex crime prosecutions

The state Senate approved a measure on Wednesday that would end the statute of limitations for rape and several other sex crimes in California.
The measure by Sen. Connie Leyva (D-Chino) would allow the indefinite criminal prosecution of rape, sodomy, lewd or lascivious acts, continuous sexual abuse of a child, oral copulation and sexual penetration.
