Justice Without Time Limit: Support for Child Abuse Victims.
This act aims to encourage states to eliminate statutes of limitation for criminal and civil cases involving child sexual abuse. States that do so will receive increased federal funding, helping victims seek justice regardless of how much time has passed since the abuse occurred.
Key points
States that remove time limits for child sexual abuse cases will receive additional federal funding.
The changes aim to make it easier for child sexual abuse victims to seek justice, even many years after the event.
The act highlights that most victims disclose abuse only in adulthood, which current time limits often hinder.
