The Child Victims Act (A2872A\/S63A) would completely eliminate the civil statutes of limitation for child sexual abuse crimes in the future. Additionally, it creates a one-year \u201cwindow\u201d to allow survivors to file civil litigation retrospectively against their abuser(s). A companion bill (A8567\/S6436) will eliminate the criminal statutes of limitation for child sex abuse in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday and tomorrow, hundreds of advocates will take to Albany to urge New York State legislators to pass a pair of bills that will eliminate the statutes of limitation on sex crimes committed against children. Every year, 1 in 10 American children are sexually abused before age 18.\u00a0 However, many may not seek justice until years later due to the pressure to remain silent, the fear of not being believed or the many years it can take to work up the courage to confront their abuser in a court of law. Passing these statutes of limitation bills into law will greatly expand the ability for child sex abuse victims to seek justice and hold their abusers responsible for their actions.\u00a0 Safe Horizon strongly urges our elected officials to pass these long-overdue statutes of limitation bills now. We are particularly grateful to Assembly Member Margaret Markey and State Senator Brad Hoylman for their unwavering efforts to move these bills forward and allow survivors of childhood sexual abuse greater avenues to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year alone, Safe Horizon, the nation\u2019s largest victim\u2019s services agency, helped more than 5,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/get-help\/child-abuse\/\">child abuse<\/a> survivors through its Child Advocacy Centers.<\/p>\n<h2>About Safe Horizon<\/h2>\n<p>Safe Horizon empowers victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and human trafficking to move from crisis to confidence \u2013 touching the lives of 250, 000 New Yorkers every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safe Horizon advocates for New York State legislators to pass two bills that would remove statute-of-limitation&#8217;s age limits to help child sexual abuse victims gain justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":{"id":3822,"alt_text":"Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing","caption":"","description":"Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":478,"height":249,"file":"2017\/01\/Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing-300x156.jpg","width":300,"height":156,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing-300x156.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Safe-Horizon-Logo-FB-Meta-Sharing.jpg"},"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2013],"tags":[141,159,145],"class_list":["post-2027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-statements-and-press-releases","tag-child-abuse","tag-child-sex-abuse","tag-child-sex-abuse-laws","issue-child-abuse"],"acf":{"page_header_title":"","page_header_excerpt":"","page_header_image":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/silhouette_hero_image.png","related_initiative_title":"Do you need help?","related_initiative_link":"\/hotlines","related_initiative_link_text":"Visit our Hotlines Page","featured_posts":[{"ID":2028,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2016-06-10 12:11:00","post_date_gmt":"2016-06-10 12:11:00","post_content":"Contact: Brian Pacheco, Director of Public Relations | <a href=\"mailto:Brian.Pacheco@safehorizon.org\">Brian.Pacheco@safehorizon.org<\/a>\r\nt.\u00a0<a href=\"tel:+12125777709\">212.577.7709<\/a>\u00a0| c.\u00a0<a href=\"tel:+16463061136\">646.306.1136<\/a>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>SAFE HORIZON STATEMENT ON THE NEED FOR LEGISLATIVE AGREEMENT TO REFORM NEW YORK\u2019S STATUES OF LIMITATION ON SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\nNEW YORK (June 10, 2016) Safe Horizon\u2019s Vice President of Government Affairs, Michael Polenberg, made the following statement in response to ongoing debate in the Legislature about the Child Victims Act.\r\n\r\n\u201c<em>We are happy to have the support of the Governor on so many of the key provisions backed by advocates and survivors.
