Legislature Nears Vote On Removing Time Limits For Abuse Victims To Sue
ST. PAUL, Minn. — As the state Legislature nears a vote on a controversial bill that would give victims of sexual abuse more time to sue, a new book chronicles the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church, including some key characters and cases from Minnesota.
Some victim advocates are pursuing legislation to remove statutes of limitations in abuse cases, a step they see as a final frontier in the reckoning they seek with the church.
The Child Victims Act before the Senate would drop Minnesota’s statute of limitations for civil suits involving child sexual abuse. The House version would create a three-year window for victims to bring old cases.
