#BREAKING

@PaSenate just eliminated criminal statute of limitations on childhood sexual assault‼️

W/ this gone, Bob Corby of Bethlehem, now 84, could have had his day in court.

He’d have been able to see the priest who abused him when he was a boy — brought to justice.
Tonight, the voices of Survivors were heard.

I stand proudly alongside these brave souls, who’ve waited 15 long months since the release of the Grand Jury’s Report on clergy abuse, to see the jurors’ 4 recommended reforms be brought to the PA Senate floor for a vote.
These reforms are more than just statutory changes…

They fundamentally change our justice system to better protect victims and hold abusers – and those who cover-up abuse – accountable under the law.
While I hoped another day wouldn’t pass prohibiting Survivors the opportunity to hold their abusers accountable, civilly – I'm confident that the PA’ns who've let me know how much the GJ Report meant to them – will have their voices heard at the ballot box.
