Colorado Revisits Lifting Statute of Limitations on Sex Abuse Lawsuits
Rep. Gwyn Green, D-Golden has introduced legislation in the Colorado State Legislature that would lift the ban on sexual abuse lawsuits involving children as well as provide a two-year window for past abuse claims to be filed in court. In spite of a defeat in 2006, Rep. Green thinks this time the law has a good chance of passing. Children's advocates have been pressing legislators across the country for more equitable laws that actually protect children from sexual predators and the institutions that hide them.
