A Pennsylvania
lawmaker who has told of his victimization as a child by a Roman
Catholic priest said Tuesday he will keep fighting for legislation to
allow onetime-child sexual abuse victims to sue for damages, despite the
measure’s rejection in the Senate as the legislative session winds
down.
Rep. Mark Rozzi, D-Berks, is backed by top House lawmakers, victim
advocates and both major party candidates for state attorney general –
Republican John Rafferty and Democrat Josh Shapiro – as part of wider
legislation to respond to child sexual abuse cover-ups.
