Gode nyheder fra USA
Beklager at det er på engelsk. Som jeg forstår det, kan ofre for pædofili nu sagsøge, også selv om der er gået flere år, end reglen tillader.
Derudover kan man nu også sagsøge institutioner, der har tilladt overgreb at finde sted, ved at neglicere sagerne.
Jeg forstår ikke det hele, men det er sådan nogenlunde jeg kan få en mening ud af det.
DOVER – Delaware’s House of Representatives passed tonight what one law
professor called “the strongest bill for child sexual abuse victims in the
country†by a 41-0 vote.
The bill, S.B. 29, eliminates the two-year civil statute of limitations in cases
of child sexual abuse.
It also provides a two-year window during which claims previously barred by the
statute could be filed – opening the courthouse door to victims unable to seek
justice because time had expired. Institutions that allowed the abuse to occur
through gross negligence also could be sued.
The bill passed by unanimous vote when it was introduced in the Senate by its
prime sponsor, Sen.
Karen Peterson, D-Stanton.
It would go to the governor’s desk but for a minor amendment attached Tuesday
night by a co-sponsor, Rep.
Deborah Hudson, R-Fairthorne. That amendment, passed unanimously, simply says
the law takes effect when the money is appropriated.
Peterson said she hoped the Senate would suspend its rules to vote on the
amended bill Wednesday.
